Surrey with the Fringe on Top
When I take you out tonight with me Honey here's the way it's gonna be You'll set behind a team of snow white horses In the sleekest gig you'll 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 a fringe on top
Watch that fringe and see how it flutters When I drive them high steppin' strutters Nosy pokes'll 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 that 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 a fringe on the top
What'd you say the fringe was made 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 So you can tell them apart
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 a fringe on top
When we hit that road hell for leather Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Cats and dogs'll dance in the heather Birds and frogs'll sing altogether And the toads'll hop
The wind'll whistle as we rattle along The cow'll moo in the clover The river will ripple out a whispered song And whisper it over and over
Don't you wish it'd go on forever Don't you wish it'd go on forever Don't you wish it'd go on forever And it'd never stop In that shiny little surrey With a fringe on the top
I can see the stars gettin' blurry when we ride back home in the surrey Riding slowly home in the surrey With a fringe on top
I can feel the day gettin' older Feel a sleepy head near my shoulder Noddin', droopin' close to my shoulder 'Til it falls, plop
The sun is swimmin' on the rim of a 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 is 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 with the surrey With the fringe on the top
