The Surrey With The Fringe On Top

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 1]
Watch that fringe and see how it flutters
When I drive them high-steppin' strutters
Nosey-pokes'll peek through the shutters
And their eyes will pop

[Verse 2]
The wheels are yellow, 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

[Chorus 2]
Two bright sidelights winkin' and blinkin'
Ain't no finer rig I'm a-thinkin'
You can keep your rig if you're thinkin' that I'd care to swap
For that shiny, little surrey with the fringe on the top

[Chorus 3]
I can feel the night gettin' blurry
As we drive back home in the surrey
Drivin' slowly home in the surrey
With the fringe on top

[Verse 3]
I can feel the day gettin' older
Feel a sleepy-head on my shoulder
Noddin', droopin' close to my shoulder
Till it falls, kerplop

[Verse 4]
The sun is swimmin' on the rim of the hill
The moon is takin' a header
And just as I'm thinkin' that the earth is still
A lark'll wake up in the meder

[Chorus 3]
Hushy, bird, my baby's a-sleepin'
Maybe got a dream worth a-keepin'
Whoa, you team, and just keep creepin' at a slow clip-clop
Don't you hurry with the surrey with the fringe on the top

[Chorus 4]
Oh, those chicks, ducks and geese 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
