Lyrics The Surrey With the Fringe On Top / Stepsister's Lament - Richard Rodgers , Oscar Hammerstein II
When
I
take
you
out
tonight
with
me
Honey,
here's
the
way
it's
gonna
be
(Honey?!)
You
will
sit
behind
a
team
of
snow-white
horses
In
the
slickest
gig
you
ever
see
(Do
I
know
you?)
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
Nosy
folks'll
peek
through
their
shutters
and
their
eyes
will
pop
The
wheels
are
yellow,
the
upholstery's
brown
The
dashboard's
genuine
leather
With
isinglass
curtains
you
can
roll
right
down
In
case
there's
a
change
in
the
weather
Two
bright
sidelights
winkin'
and
blinkin'
Ain't
no
finer
rig,
I'm
a-thinkin'
You
can
keep
your
rig,
if
you're
thinkin'
that
I'd
care
to
swap
For
that
shiny
little
surrey
with
the
fringe
on
the
top
Would
you
say
the
fringe
was
made
of
silk?
Wouldn't
have
no
other
kind
but
silk
Has
it
really
got
a
team
of
snow-white
horses?
One's
like
snow,
the
other's
more
like
milk
(Good
answer!)
All
the
world'll
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
When
we
hit
that
road,
hell
for
leather
Cats
and
dogs'll
dance
in
the
heather
Birds
and
frogs
will
sing
altogether
and
the
toads
will
hop
The
wind
will
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
it'd
go
on
forever?
Don't
you
wish
it'd
go
on
forever?
Don't
you
wish
it'd
go
on
forever
and
it
never
stop?
In
that
shiny
little
surrey
with
the
fringe
on
the
top
I
can
see
the
stars
getting
blurry
When
we
ride
back
home
in
the
surrey
Riding
slowly
home
in
the
surrey
with
the
fringe
on
top
I
can
feel
the
day
getting
older
Feel
a
sleepy
head
near
my
shoulder
Nodding,
drooping
close
to
my
shoulder
till
it
falls
- kerplop!
The
sun
is
swimming
on
the
rim
of
a
hill
The
moon
is
takin'
a
header
And
just
as
I'm
thinking
all
the
earth
is
still
A
lark'll
wake
up
in
the
meadow
Hush,
you
bird
My
baby's
a-sleepin'
Maybe
got
a
dream
worth
a-keepin'
Whoa,
you
team,
and
just
keep
a-creepin'
at
a
slow
clip,
clop
Don't
you
hurry
with
the
surrey
with
the
fringe
on
the
top
Why
would
a
fella
want
a
girl
like
her?
A
frail
and
fluffy
beauty?
Why
can't
a
fella
ever
once
prefer
A
solid
girl
like
me?
She's
a
frothy
little
bubble
With
a
flimsy
kind
of
charm
And
with
very
little
trouble
I
could
break
her
little
arm
Oh,
oh,
why
would
a
fella
want
a
girl
like
her?
So
obviously
unusual
Why
can't
a
fella
ever
once
prefer
A
usual
girl
like
me?
Her
cheeks
are
a
pretty
shade
of
pink
But
not
any
pinker
than
a
rose
is
Her
skin
may
be
delicate
and
soft
But
not
any
softer
than
a
doe's
is
Her
neck
is
no
whiter
than
a
swan's
She
is
only
as
dainty
as
a
daisy
She's
only
as
graceful
as
a
bird
So
why
is
the
fellow
going
crazy?!
Oh,
why
would
a
fellow
want
a
girl
like
her?
A
girl
who's
merely
lovely?
Why
can't
a
fellow
ever
once
prefer
A
girl
who's
merely
me?
What's
the
matter
with
the
man?
What's
the
matter
with
the
man?
What's
the
matter
with
the
man!?
