[CURLY] When I take you out tonight with me Honey, heres the way its gonna be You will set behind a team of snowwhite horses In the slickest gig youll ever see [AUNT ELLER] Lands! [CURLY] 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, see how it flutters When I drive them highsteppin strutters Nosy pokes will peekll through their shutters and their eyesll pop The wheels are yeller, the upholsterys brown The dashboards genuine leather With isinglass curtains you can roll right down In case theys a change in the weather Two bright sidelights winkin and blinkin Aint no finer rig Im a thinkin You can keep yer rig if yer thinkin that Id care to swap Fer that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top [AUNT ELLER] Would you say the fringe was made of silk? [CURLY] Wouldnt have no other kind but silk [LAUREY] Has it really got a team of snowwhite horses? [CURLY] Ones like the snow, the others more like milk [AUNT ELLER, spoken] So you can tell them apart [CURLY] All the worldll 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 we hit that road, hellforleather Cats and dogs will dancell in the heather Birds and frogsll sing all together and the toads will hop The windll whistle as we rattle along The cowsll moo in the clover The river will ripple out a whispered song And whisper it over and over Dont you wish itd go on forever? Dont you wish itd go on forever? Dont you wish itd go on forever? And itd never stop? In 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 Til it falls kerplop The sun is swimmin on the rim of the hill The moon is takin a header And just as Im thinkin all the Earth is still A larkll wake up in the meader Oh hush, you bird, my babys a sleepin Maybes got a dream worth a keepin Whoa, you team, an just keep a creepin At a slow clip clop Dont you hurry with the surrey With the fringe on the top
