The Surrey With the Fringe On Top Songtext
von Bing Crosby

Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When you take me 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 through their shutters
And their eyes will pop
The wheels are yeller, the upholstery′s brown
The dashboard is genuine leather
With isinglass curtains you can roll right down
That's in case there's a change in the weather
Two bright sidelights winkin′ and blinkin′
Ain't no finer rig I′m a thinkin'
You can keep your rig if you′re thinkin' that we′d care to swap
For that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top


All the world'll fly in a flurry
When you take me out in the surrey
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top
When we hit that road plyin' leather
Cats and dogs′ll dance in the heather
Birds and frogs′ll sing all together
And the toads will hop
And 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 wish you′d go on forever
Don't you wish you′d go on forever
Don't you wish you'd go on forever and you′d never stop
In that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top
