The Surrey With The Fringe On Top - Alfred Drake
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 you' 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
I can see the stars gettin' blurry
When we ride back home in the surrey
Ridin' 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 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'll wake 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
