Surrey With The Fringe On Top

Surrey With The Fringe On Top

Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When you 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' stutters
Nosy folks will peep through the shutters
And their eyes will pop

The wheels are yellow, the upholstery's brown
The dashboard's genuine leather
With nice bright curtains you can roll right down
That is in case there's a change in the weather

Two bright side lights winking and blinkin'
Ain't no finer rig I'm a-thinking
But you can keep your rig if you're thinking that I care to swap
For that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top

All the world would fly in a flurry
When you 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 all dance in the heather
Birds and frogs will sing all together
And the toads will hop

The wind will whistle as we rattle along
The cows will moo in the clover
The river will ripple out a whispered song
And whisper it over and over

Don't you wish you'd go on forever
Don't wish you'd go on forever
Don't you wish you'd go on forever and you never stop
In that shiny little surrey with fringe on the top
