Surrey With The Fringe On Top

Surrey With The Fringe On Top - Blossom Dearie (布劳森·黛瑞)

Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry

When I take you out in the surrey

When I take you out in the surrey

With the fringe on top

Watch that fringe and see how it flutters

When I drive them high steppin' strutters

Nosey pokes'll peek thru their shutters

And their eyes will pop

The wheels are yellow the upholstery's brown

The dashboard's genuine leather

With isinglass curtains y' can roll right down

In case there's a change in the weather

Two bright sidelights winkin' and blinkin'

Ain't no finer rig I'm a thinkin'

You can keep your rig if you're thinkin'

'At I'd care to swap

For that shiny little surrey

With the fringe on the top

I can see the stars gettin' blurry

As we ride back home in the surrey

Riding slowly home in the surrey

With the fringe on top

I can feel the day gettin' older

Feel a sleepy head near my shoulder

Noddin' droopin' close to my shoulder

'Til it falls ker-plop

The sun is swimmin' on the rim of a hill

The moon is takin' a header

And just as I'm thinkin' all the earth is still

A lark 'll wake up in the meader

Hush you bird my baby is sleepin'

Maybe got a dream worth a keepin'

Whoa you team just keep a creepin'

At a slow clip-clop

Don't you hurry with the surrey

With the fringe on the top

Althrong Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry

When I take you out in the surrey

When I take you out in the surrey

With the fringe on top

I take you out in the surrey

With the fringe on top
