The Surrey With The Fringe On Top – Andy Williams

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 gig 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 stepping strutters
Nosey pokes’ll peek through 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 keer to swap
For that shiny, little surrey
With the fringe on the top

I can see the stars getting blurry
When 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 a sleepy head on my shoulder
Nodding, drooping close to my shoulder
Till it falls kerplop
The sun is swimming on the rim of a hill
The moon is taking a header
And jist as I’m thinking all the earth is still
A lark’ll wake up in the medder

Hush, you bird, my baby’s a-sleeping
Maybe got a dream worth a-keeping
Whoa! you team, and just keep a-creeping
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
