When I take you out, tonight, with me Honey here's the way it's goin' to be You will set behind a team of snow white horses In the slickest gig you every 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 the fringe and see how it flutters When I drive them high steppin' strutters Nosey pokes will peek thru their shutters and their eyes will pop The wheels are yeller, the upholstery's brown The dashboard's genuine leather With isinglass curtain's you can roll right down in case there's a change in the weather Two bright sidelights winking and blinking Ain't no finer rig I'm a thinking You can keep your rig if you thinking that I'd keer to swap Fer that shiny surrey with the fringe on the top! All the world will 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 will 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 you wish you'd go on forever Don't you wish you'd go on forever and you'd never stop In that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top! I can see the stars getting blurry When we drive back home in the surrey Driving slowly home in the surrey with the fringe on top! I can feel the day getting older, Feel a sleepy head on my shoulder Noddin' droopin' close to my shoulder, till it falls kerplop! The sun is swimmin on the rim of a hill the moon is takin' a header And jist as I'm thinkin' all the earth is still, a lark will make up in the medder Hush, you bird, my baby's a sleepin' Maybe got a dream worth a keepin' Whoa! you team, and jist keep a creepin' at a slow clip clop Don't you hurry with the surrey with the fringe on the top!
