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 rig you've ever seen
Chicks and geese and ducks 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'll pop
The wheels are yeller, 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 winkin' and blinkin'
Ain't no finer rig I'm a thinkin'
You can keep your rig if you're thinkin' that I'd care to swap
For that shiny little surrey with the fringe on top
ย
The sun is swimmin' on the rim of the 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's sleepin'
Maybe got a dream worth a keepin'
Whoa, you team, and just keep a creepin'
At a slow clip clop
Don't you hurry little surrey with the fringe on top
