Mel Torme The Surrey With Fringe On Top Lyrics

When I take you out, tonight, with me
Honey here's the way it's goin' to be
You will set behind a team of snow white horses
In the slickest gig you every 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 the fringe and see how it flutters
When I drive them high steppin' strutters
Nosey pokes will peek thru their shutters and their eyes will pop
The wheels are yeller, the upholstery's brown
The dashboard's genuine leather
With isinglass curtain's you can roll right down in case there's a change in the weather
Two bright sidelights winking and blinking
Ain't no finer rig I'm a thinking
You can keep your rig if you thinking that I'd keer to swap
Fer that shiny surrey with the fringe on the top!

All the world will 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

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 will make 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!
