Перевод песни Blossom Dearie - The Surrey with the Fringe on Top

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
Nosey-pokes'll peek through the 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

I can feel the night gettin' blurry
As we drive back home in the surrey
Drivin' slowly home in the surrey
With the fringe on top

I can feel the day gettin' older
Feel a sleepy-head on my shoulder
Noddin', droopin' close to my shoulder
Till it falls, kerflop

The sun is swimmin' on the rim of the hill
The moon is takin' a header
And just as I'm thinkin' that the earth is still
A lark'll wake up in the meder

Hushy, bird, my baby's a-sleepin'
Maybe got a dream worth a-keepin'
Whoa, you team, and just keep creepin' at a slow clip-clop
Don't you hurry with the surrey with the fringe on the top

Oh, those chicks, ducks and geese better scurry
When I take you out in the surrey
I'll take you out in the surrey
With the fringe on top
I'll take you out in the surrey
With the fringe on top
