Oklahoma movie - The Surrey With The Fringe On Top lyrics
rate me<br>
Curly:<br>
<br>
When I take you out, tonight, with me, <br>
Honey, here's the way it's goin' to be: <br>
You will set behind a team of snow white horses, <br>
In the slickest gig you ever see! <br>
<br>
Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry <br>
When I take you out in the surrey, <br>
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top! <br>
Watch that fringe and see how it flutters <br>
When I drive them high steppin' strutters. <br>
Nosey pokes'll peek thru' their shutters and their eyes will pop! <br>
The wheels are yeller, the upholstery's brown, <br>
The dashboard's genuine leather, <br>
With isinglass curtains y' can roll right down, <br>
In case there's a change in the weather. <br>
Two bright sidelight's winkin' and blinkin', <br>
Ain't no finer rig I'm a-thinkin' <br>
You c'n keep your rig if you're thinkin' 'at I'd keer to swap <br>
Fer that shiny, little surrey with the fringe on the top! <br>
<br>
Aunt Eller:<br>
<br>
Would y' say the fringe was made a' silk?<br>
<br>
Curly:<br>
<br>
Wouldn't have n' other kind but silk.<br>
<br>
Laurey:<br>
<br>
Has it really got a team of snow white horses?<br>
<br>
Curly:<br>
<br>
One's like snow, <br>
the others more like milk.<br>
<br>
All the world'll fly in a flurry <br>
When I take you out in the surrey, <br>
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top! <br>
When we hit that road, hell fer leather, <br>
Cats and dogs'll dance in the heather, <br>
Birds and frogs'll sing all together and the toads will hop! <br>
The wind'll whistle as we rattle along, <br>
The cows'll moo in the clover, <br>
The river will ripple out a whispered song, <br>
And whisper it over and over: <br>
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever? <br>
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever? <br>
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever and ud never stop <br>
In that shiny, little surrey with the fringe on the top! <br>
<br>
I can see the stars gettin' blurry, <br>
When we ride back home in the surrey, <br>
Ridin' slowly home in the surrey with the fringe on top! <br>
I can feel the day gettin' older, <br>
Feel a sleepy head near my shoulder, <br>
Noddin', droopin' close to my shoulder, till it falls kerplop! <br>
The sun is swimmin' on the rim of a hill; <br>
The moon is takin' a header, <br>
And jist as I'm thinkin' all the earth is still, <br>
A lark'll wake up in the medder. <br>
Hush, you bird, my baby's a-sleepin'! <br>
Maybe got a dream worth a-keepin' <br>
Whoa! you team, and jist keep a-creepin' at a slow clip clop. <br>
Don't you hurry with the surrey with the fringe on the top!<br>
<br>
