Mel Torm — The Surrey With The Fringe On Top

When I take you out tonight with me Honey, here's the way it's gonna be You will set behind a team of snow white horses In the slickest rig 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 Nosy pokes'll peek through their shutters And their eyes'll pop The wheels are yellow, the upholstery's brown The dashboard's genuine leather With isinglass curtains you can roll right down In case there is a change in the weather Two bright sidelight's 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 the shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top The sun is swimmin' on the rim of a hill The moon's takin' a header Just as I'm thinkin' all the earth is still A lark'll wake up in the meadow Hush, you bird, my baby's a-sleepin' Maybe got a dream worth a-keepin' Whoa you team, just keep a-creepin' at a slow clip clop Don't you hurry with the surrey with the fringe on the top Don't you hurry with the surrey with the fringe on the top
