The Surrey With The Fringe On Top

Oscar Peterson · Other Songs - Oscar Peterson

Chicks and geese and ducks 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

I will ride those high-steppin' strutters

Nosy pokes will peek through their shutters

And their eyes will pop



The wheels are yeller the upholstery brown

The dash board's genuine leather

With in-sin glass curtains you can roll right down

In case there's a change in the weather



Two bright side lights winkin' and blinkin'

Ain't no fingering what I'm thinkin'

You'd be fingering if you're thinkin' that I'd care to swap

For the shiny little surrey with the fringe on top
