oklahoma!: surrey with the fringe on top - bryn terfel lyrics

[intro]
when i take you out tonight with me
honey, here’s the way it’s gonna be
you will set behind a team of snow*white horses
in the sl!ckest gig you’ll ever see

[verse 1]
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 pokes’ll peek through their shutters and their eyеs will pop
the wheels are yellow, thе 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

[bridge]
you will see the fringe is made of silk
wouldn’t have no other kind but silk
and it’s really got a team of snow*white horses
one’s like snow, the other’s more like milk
[verse 2]
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
when we hit that road, h*ll*for*leather
cats and dogs will 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’d go on forever?
don’t you wish you’d go on forever?
don’t you wish you’d go on forever and you’d never stop?
in that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top

[verse 3]
i can see the stars gettin’ blurry
when we ride back home in the surrey
ridin’ slowly home in the surrey with the fringe on top
i can feel the day gettin’ older
feel a sleepy head near my shoulder
noddin’, droopin’, close to my shoulder
’til it falls—kerplop
the sun is swimmin’ on the rim of a hill
the moon is takin’ a header
and just as i’m thinkin’ all the earth is still
a lark’ll wake up in the meader
hush, you bird, my baby’s a*sleepin’
baby got a dream worth a*keepin’
woah, you team, and just keep a*creepin’ at a slow clip*clop
don’t you hurry, little surrey with the fringe on the top
