There's a bright golden
haze on the meadow
There's a bright golden
haze on the meadow
The corn is as high
as an elephant's eye
And it looks like it's
climbin' clear up to the sky
Oh, what a beautiful morning
Oh, what a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feeling
Everything's goin' my way
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
All the sounds of the
earth are like music
All the sounds of the
earth are like music
The breeze is so busy
it don't miss a tree
And a ol' weepin' willer
is laughin' at me
Oh, what a beautiful morning
Oh, what a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feeling
Everything's goin' my way
Oh, what a beautiful day
(ROOSTER CROWS)
(CHICKENS CLUCKING)
- Hi, Aunt Eller!
- Don't scare me to death.
- What you doin' around here?
- I come a-singin' to you.
Oh, what a beautiful morning
Oh, what a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feeling
Everything's goin' my way
If I wasn't an old woman, and if you
wasn't so young and smart-alecky,
why, I'd marry you and get you to
sit around at night and sing to me.
No, you wouldn't neither, 'cause I wouldn't
marry you nor none of your kinfolk.
- If I could help it.
- Oh, none of my kinfolks, huh?
And you can tell 'em
that too. All of 'em.
Including that niece of
your'n, Miss Laurey Williams.
Who you takin' to the
box social tonight?
I ain't thought much about it yet.
- Bet you come over to ask Laurey.
- What if I did?
You askin' me too?
I'll wear my fascinator.
- Yeah, you too.
- Yeah, yeah.
Oh, what a beautiful morning
Oh, what a beautiful day
I thought you were somebody.
I got a beautiful feeling
Everything's goin' my way
Is this all that's come a-callin' at
already 8:
00 this Saturday morning?You knowed it was me
before you opened the door.
- No such of a thing.
- Well, you did too.
You heared my voice.
You knowed it was me.
like a bullfrog in a pond.
You knowed it was me, so you set in
there, thinkin' up something mean to say.
I'm a good mind not to
ask you to the box social.
- Oh, you two.
- If you asked me, I wouldn't go with you.
Besides, how'd you take me?
You ain't bought a new buggy with
red wheels onto it, have you?
No, I ain't.
A spankin' team with their
bridles all a-jinglin'?
No.
Expect me to ride on
behind ol' Blue I guess.
You better ask that old Cummings
girl you took such a shine to.
If I was to ask you, Miss Laurey
smarty, there'd be a way to take ya.
Oh, there would?
How'd we get there?
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 slickest gig you ever see
Chicks and ducks
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 eyes'll pop
The wheels are yeller
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 "keer" to swap
with the fringe on the top
Would you say the fringe
was made of silk
(LAUGHS)
Wouldn't have
no other kind but silk
Has it really got a team
of snow-white horses
One's like snow
The other's more like milk
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'll
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
a whispered song
And whisper it over and over
(SOFTLY) 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 it'd never stop
with the fringe on the top
You'd sure feel like a queen
settin' up in that carriage.
Only she talked to me
so mean a while back,
- I'm a good mind not to take her.
- I ain't said I was goin'.
- Well, I ain't asked ya.
- Where'd you get such a rig at?
I'll bet he's went and hired a rig over
at Claremore, thinkin' I'd go with him.
I did not hire it. I made the
whole thing up out of my head.
- What? Made it up?
- Dashboard and all.
(LAUGHING)
Get off the place, you!
Aunt Eller, make him get hisself
out of here! Tellin' me lies.
Now hold on. Makin' up a few "purties"
ain't agin no law I know of.
Besides, don't you wish
there was such a rig though?
You could go to the play party and do a
hoedown till morning if you was a mind to.
Then when you was all wore out,
why, I'd just lift you onto the surrey,
jump up alongside you, and we'd
I can just picture the whole thing.
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
Till 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 medder
Hush, you bird my baby's a-sleepin'
Maybe got a dream worth a-keepin'
Whoa, you team and
just keep a-creepin'
At a slow clip-clop
Don't you hurry with the surrey
With the fringe
On the
Top
- Only... Only there ain't no such rig.
- Well...
Why'd you come around here with
your stories and your lies,
gettin' me all worked up?
Who'd wanna ride
alongside of you anyway?
Why don't you grab her and kiss her
when she acts that a-way, Curly?
- She's just aching for you to, I bet.
- I won't even speak to him,
let alone allow him to kiss me...
the braggin', bowlegged,
wished-he'd-had-a-sweetheart bum!
She liked me any more,
she'd sic the dogs onto me.
- Hello, Jud.
- Hello, yourself.
Listen, who's the low filthy sneak
Laurey's got her cap set for?
- You.
- Never mind that.
There must be plenty of
men a-tryin' to spark her.
- Plenty.
- What about him?
Oh, she wouldn't take up
with a fella like that,
that bullet-colored,
growly hired hand.
Now, don't you go say
nothin' agin Jud.
Best hired hand I ever had.
Just about runs
the farm by hisself.
Well, two women couldn't do it.
You oughta know 'at.
He's around all the time, ain't he?
Takes his meals with you and
sleeps down in the smokehouse.
I changed my mind about
cleaning the henhouse today.
I gotta quit early 'cause I'm driving
Laurey to the party tonight.
- You're driving Laurey?
- I asked her.
Well, wouldn't that
just make you bawl?
Don't forget, Aunt Eller. You and
me still got a date together.
How we going, Curly,
