The Surrey with the Fringe on Top

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 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! 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!
