lyrics here....
When I take you out, tonight, with me,
Honey, here's the way it's goin' to 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 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!
Aunt Eller: Would y' say the fringe was made
a' silk?
Curly: Wouldn't have n' other kind but silk.
Laurey: Has it really got a team of snow
white horses?
Curly: One's like snow, the others more like
milk.
All the world'll 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, hell fer leather,
Cats and dogs'll dance in the heather,
Birds and frogs'll sing all together and the
toads will hop!
The wind'll whistle as we rattle along,
The cows'll moo in the clover,
The river will ripple out a whispered song,
And whisper it over and over:
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever?
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever?
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever and ud
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, 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!
