Lyrics

Chicks and ducks and geese bet ter scur ry when I take you out in the sur rey, when I take you out in the sur rey with the fringe

on top!

Watch that fringe and see how it flut ters when I drive them high step pin’ strut ters, nos ey pokes ’ll peek through their shut ters, and their fringe

on top!

eyes

will pop!

The wheels are yel ler, the up hol ster y’s brown, the dash board’s gen u ine leath er, with i sin glass cur tains y’ can roll right down, in case there’s a change in the weath er.

Two bright side lights wink in’ and blink in’, ain’t no fin er rig, I’m a think in’ you c’n keep your rig if you’re think in’ ’at I’d keer to swap fer that shin y, lit tle sur rey with the fringe on the top!

Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?

Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
