Lyrics
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 pokes will peek through their shutters
And their eyes will pop
The wheels are yellow, the upholstery's brown
The dashboard's genuine leather
With isinglass curtains you can roll right down
In case there's a change in the weather
To bright working, blinking and blinking
Ain't no finer rig I'm a-thinking
You can keep your rig if you're thinking that I'd care to swap
For that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top
I can see the stars getting blurry
When we drive back home in the surrey
Driving slowly home in the surrey with the fringe on top
I can feel the day getting older
Feel a sleepy head on my shoulder
Nodding drooping close to my shoulder 'til it falls, a clip-clop
The sun is swimming on the rim of the hill
The moon is taking a header
And just as I'm thinking the earth is still
A lark wake up in the meader
Hush you bird, my baby's sleeping
Maybe we got a dream worth keeping
When you team and just keep a-creeping at a slow clip-a-clop
Don't you hurry little surrey with the fringe on the top
When we ride in the surrey
We'll just hide every worry
You and me in the flurry
Gay and free in the surrey
Things get sweet in a hurry
Can't be beat in the surrey
There's l'amour in the surrey
That's for sure, don't you worry
We'll fly high in the surrey
Reach the sky in the surrey
We'll just glide in the flurry
Right in stride in the surrey
You'll insist in the surrey
To get kissed in a hurry
Can't resist in the surrey
With the fringe on top
And now a little piano
