Rodgers & Hammerstein

Richard Rodgers (1902–1979) and Oscar Hammerstein II (1895–1960) were an influential, innovative and successful American musical theatre writing team, usually referred to as Rodgers and Hammerstein. They created a string of popular Broadway musicals in the 1940s and 1950s, initiating what is considered the "golden age" of musical theatre. With Rodgers composing the music and Hammerstein writing the lyrics, five of their shows, Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I and The Sound of Music, were outstanding successes. Among the many accolades their shows (and film versions) garnered were thirty-four Tony Awards, fifteen Academy Awards, the Pulitzer Prize, and two Grammy Awards. more »

When I take you out, tonight, with me
Honey here's the way it's goin' to be
You will set behind a team of snow white horses
In the slickest gig you every see

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 the fringe and see how it flutters
When I drive them high steppin' strutters
Nosey pokes will peek thru their shutters and their eyes will pop
The wheels are yeller, the upholstery's brown
The dashboard's genuine leather
With isinglass curtain's you can roll right down in case there's a change in the weather
Two bright sidelights winking and blinking
Ain't no finer rig I'm a thinking
You can keep your rig if you thinking that I'd keer to swap
Fer that shiny surrey with the fringe on the top!

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, hell for leather, cats and dogs will dance in the heather
Birds and frogs will sing all together and the toads will hop!
The wind will whistle as we rattle along.
The cows will 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!

I can see the stars getting blurry
When we drive back home in the surrey
Driving slowly home in the surrey with the fringe on top!
I can feel the day getting older,
Feel a sleepy head on my shoulder
Noddin' droopin' close to my shoulder, till it falls kerplop!
The sun is swimmin on the rim of a hill
the moon is takin' a header
And jist as I'm thinkin' all the earth is still, a lark will make up in the medder
Hush, you bird, my baby's a sleepin'
Maybe got a dream worth a keepin'
Whoa! you team, and jist keep a creepin' at a slow clip clop
Don't you hurry with the surrey with the fringe on the top!
