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

Nosey pokes'll peek thru their shutters

And their eyes will pop The wheels are yellow, the upholstery's brown

The dashboard's genuine leather

With isinglass curtains y' 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'

'At I'd care to swap

For that shiny little surrey

With the fringe on the top Did 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 y' c'n 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 the fringe on top When we hit that road hell for leather

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 'll ripple out a whispered song

And whisper it over and over Don't you wisht it'd go on forever

Don't you wisht it'd go on forever

Don't you wisht it'd go on forever

And it'd never stop

In that shiny little surrey

With the fringe on top I can see the stars gettin' blurry

As we ride back home in the surrey

Riding slowly home in the surrey

With the 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 ker-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, just keep a creepin'

At a slow clip-clop

Don't you hurry with the surrey

With the fringe on the top
