lyrics

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 stepping 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 curtains you can roll right down
In case there's a change in the weather.

Two bright sidelight's winking and blinking,
Ain't no finer rig I'm a-thinking
You can keep your rig if you're thinking that I'd care to swap
For that shiny, little surrey with the fringe on the top

I can see the stars getting blurry,
As 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 that sleepy head on my shoulder,
Nodding, drooping, so close to my shoulder, till it falls kerplop

The sun is swimmin' on the rim of a hill
The moon is taking a header,
And just 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 some dreams worth a-keepin'
Whoa! you team, and just keep a-creepin' at a slow clip clop
Don't you hurry with the surrey with the fringe on the top

Well those chicks, and ducks, and gees better scurry
When I take you out in the surrey
I'll take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top
I'll take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top
