The Surrey With The Fringe On Top

Lyrics

When I take you out, tonight, with me
 Honey, here's the way it's gonna be
 You will set behind a team of snow white horses
 In the slickest gig you ever see
 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
 Nosy folks'll peek thru' their shutters and their eyes will pop
 The wheels are yeller, 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 sidelight's winkin' and blinkin'
 Ain't no finer rig I'm a-thinkin'
 You c'n keep your rig if you're thinkin' 'at I'd keer to swap
 Fer that shiny, little surrey with the fringe on the top
 Would you say the fringe is make of silk?
 Wouldn't have no other kind but silk
 Has it really got a team of snow white horses?
 One's like snow,
 The other's more like...
 Milk.
 All the world'll fly in a flurry
 When I take you out in the surrey
 When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top
 When we hit that road, hell fer leather
 Cats and dogs'll dance in the heather
 Birds and frogs'll sing all together and the toads will hop
 The wind'll whistle as we rattle along
 The cows'll moo in the clover
 The river will ripple out a whispered song
 And whisper it over and over
 Don't you wisht y'd go on forever
 Don't you wisht y'd go on forever
 Don't you wisht y'd go on forever and ud never stop
 In that shiny, little surrey with the fringe on the top
 *SPEECH*
 I can see the stars gettin' blurry
 When we ride back home in the surrey
 Drivin' slowly home in the surrey with the fringe on top
 I can feel the day gettin' older
 Feel a sleepy head on my shoulder
 Noddin', droopin' close to my shoulder, till it falls kerplop
 The sun is swimmin' on the rim of a hill
 The moon is takin' a header
 And jist as I'm thinkin' all the earth is still
 A lark'll wake up in the medder
 Hush, you bird, my baby's a-sleepin'
 Maybe got a dream worth a-keepin'
 Whoa! you team, and jist keep a-creepin' at a slow clip clop
 Don't you hurry with the surrey with the fringe on the top
