Frank Sinatra - The Surrey With the Fringe on Top lyrics
[Frank Sinatra - The Surrey With the Fringe on Top lyrics]
When I take you out tonight with me
Honey, here's the way it's gonna be
You will sit behind a
Team of snow-white horses
In the slickest gig you'll 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 folks will peep through the shutters
And their eyes will pop
Those wheels are yellow
The upholstery's brown
The dashboard's genuine leather
With nice bright curtains that
Can roll right down
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
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
(Would you say the fringe was made of silk?)
Wouldn't have no other kind but silk
(Has it really got a
Team of snow-white horses?)
One's like snow, the others more like milk
(so you can tell `em apart)
All the world would 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 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 would never stop
In that shiny little surrey with
Fringe on the top?
Honey, here's the way it's gonna be
You will sit behind a
Team of snow-white horses
In the slickest gig you'll 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 folks will peep through the shutters
And their eyes will pop
Those wheels are yellow
The upholstery's brown
The dashboard's genuine leather
With nice bright curtains that
Can roll right down
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
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
(Would you say the fringe was made of silk?)
Wouldn't have no other kind but silk
(Has it really got a
Team of snow-white horses?)
One's like snow, the others more like milk
(so you can tell `em apart)
All the world would 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 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 would never stop
In that shiny little surrey with
Fringe on the top?
