| When I take you out tonight with me
|
| Honey, here’s the way it’s gonna be
|
| You will sit behind a team of snow-white horses in the slickest 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 the fringe on top
|
| Watch that fringe and see how it flutters
|
| When I drive them high steppin' strutters
|
| Nosy folks will peep through the shutters and their eyes will pop
|
| Those wheels are yellow, the upholstery’s brown, the dashboard’s genuine leather
|
| With nice bright curtains that can roll right down 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
|
| 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
|
| (Would 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 others more like milk (so you can tell `em apart)
|
| All the world would 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 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 would never stop
|
| In that shiny little surrey with fringe on the top? |
