The Surrey With the Fringe On Top - Bing Crosby, Helen O'Connell

Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry

When you 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' stutters

Nosy folks will peep through the shutters

And their eyes will pop

The wheels are yellow, the upholstery’s brown

The dashboard’s genuine leather

With nice bright curtains you can roll right down

That is in case there’s a change in the weather

Two bright side lights winking and blinkin'

Ain’t no finer rig I’m a-thinking

But you can keep your rig if you’re thinking that I care to swap

For that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top

All the world would fly in a flurry

When you 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 for leather

Cats and dogs all dance in the heather

Birds and frogs will sing all together

And the toads will hop

The wind will whistle as we rattle along

The cows will moo in the clover

The river will ripple out a whispered song

And whisper it over and over

Don’t you wish you’d go on forever

Don’t wish you’d go on forever

Don’t you wish you’d go on forever and you never stop

In that shiny little surrey with fringe on the top
