A Joyful Ride in the Surrey
Curly McLain Chicks and ducks and geese better scurryWhen 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 fluttersWhen I drive them high steppin strutters.Nosey pokes'll peek thru their shutters and their eyes will pop!The wheels are yeller, the upholstery's brown,The dashboard's genuine leather,With isinglass curtains y can roll right down,In case there's a change in the weather.
[singing]
