The Surrey With the Fringe on Top Songtext
von Doris Day

Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When you take me out in the surrey
When you take me out in the surrey with the fringe on top!

Watch that fringe and see how it flutters
When you 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 can keep your rig if you're thinkin' I′d a 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 you take me out in the surrey with the fringe on top

When we hit that road, hell for 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 wish you can go on forever?
Don′t you wish you can go on forever?
Don't you wish you can go on forever and then never stop
In that shiny, little surrey with the fringe
In that shiny, little surrey with the fringe
In that shiny, little surrey with the fringe on the top
