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've ever seen
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 steppen strutters
Nosy pokes will peek through their shutters and their eyes
Will pop
The wheels are yellow the upholstry's brown
The dashboard's genuine leather
With isinglass curtains you can roll right down
In case there's a change in the weather
Two bright side lights winkin' and blinkin'
Ain't no finer rig I'm a thinkin'
You can keep your rig if you're thinkin that I'd
Keer to swap
Fer that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the
Top
I can see the stars gettin' blurry
When we ride back home in the surrey
Ridin' slowly home on the surrey
With the fringe on top
I can feel the day gettin' older
Feel a sleepy head on my shoulder
Noddin' droopin' close to my shoulder
Till it falls kerplop
The sun is swimming on the rim of a hill
The moon is taking a header
And just when I'm thinking all the earth is still
A lark'll wake up in the meader
Hush you bird my baby's a 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 little surrey
With the fringe on the top
Don't you hurry little surrey
With the fringe on the top
