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 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
Nosey pokes'll peek thru' their shutters and their eyes will pop
The wheels are yeller 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 sidelight's winkin' and blinkin
Ain't no finer rig I'm a thinkin
You c'n keep your rig if you're thinkin' 'at I'd keer to swap
Fer 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
Does it really have a team of snow white horses
One's like snow the other's more like milk
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 i hit that road hell fer leather
Cats and dogs'll dance in the heather
Birds and frogs'll sing all together and the toads will hop
The wind'll whistle as we rattle along
The cows'll moo in the clover
The river will ripple out a whispered song
And whisper it over and over
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever and ud never stop
In that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top
