The Surrey With The Fringe On Top |
| 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? |
