Jim Tomlinson, Stacey Kent - The Surrey with the Fringe on Top lyrics

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!

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!
