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'll ever see
Chicks and ducks and geese will skurry
When I take you out in the surrey
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top
Watch that fringe an' see how it flutters
When I drive them high-steppin' skutters
Nosy pokes'll peek through their shutters
An' 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
Two bright sidelights a-winkin' and a-blinkin'
Ain't no finer rig I'm a thinkin'
You can keep yer rig if yer thinkin' that I'd care to swap
Fer the shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top
You will see the fringe is made of silk
Couldn't have no other kind but silk
An' it's 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-for-leather
Cats an' dogs'll dance in the heather
Birds an' frogs'll sing all together
An' the toads'll hop
The wind'll whistle as we babble along
The cows'll moo in the clover
The river'll ripple out a whispered song
An' whisper it over and over
Don't you wish you'd go on forever?
Don't you wish you'd go on forever?
Don't you wish you'd go on forever
An' you'd never stop
In that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top?
I can see the stars gettin' blurry
When we ride back home in the surrey
Ridin' 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', drooppin' close to my shoulder
'Til it falls ker-plop
The sun is swimmin' on the rim of the hill
The moon is takin' a huddle
An' just as I'm thinkin' all the earth is still
A lark'll wake up in the meader
Hush, you bird, my baby's a sleepin'
Maybe got a dream worth a keepin'
Whoa, you team an' just keep a creepin'
At a slow clip clop
Don't you hurry little surrey with the fringe on the top
