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-stepped strutters
Nosey pokes will peek through the shutters and their eyes will pop
The wheels are yellow, the upholstery's brown
The dashboard's genuine leather
With isinglass goods you can roll right down
In case there's a change in the weather
Two bright sidelights winking 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
All the world a-flyin' 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 and dogs will sing all together
Birds and frogs will dance in the heather and the toads will hop
The wind'll whistle as we rattle along
The cows'll moo in the clover
The river'll ripple out a whispered song
A-whisperin' 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 and you'd never stop?
In 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 growing older
Feel the sleepy head on my shoulder
Nodding, drooping, close to my shoulder
'Til it falls, kerplop
The sun is swimming on the rim of the hill
The moon is taking her header
And just as I'm thinking the earth is still
A lark awake in the meader
Hush, you bird, my baby's a-sleeping
Maybe got a dream worth keeping
Whoa, you team, just keep a-creeping at a slow clip clop
Don't you hurry, with the surrey
Don't you hurry, with the surrey
Don't you hurry, with the surrey with the fringe on the top
