Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Can you surry?
Can you picnic?
Whoa, whoa, can you surry?
Can you picnic?
[Verse 2]
Come on, come on and surry down
To a stoned soul picnic
Surry down to a stoned soul picnic
There'll be lots of time and wine
Red, yellow, honey
Sassafras and moonshine
Red, yellow, honey
Sassafras and moonshine
Stoned soul, stoned soul
[Verse 3]
Come on, come on and surry down
To a stoned soul picnic
Surry down to a stoned soul picnic
Rain and sun come in again
[Verse 4]
And from the sky
Come the Lord and the lightning
And from the sky
Come the Lord and the lightning
[Verse 5]
Stoned soul, stoned soul
Surry on, soul
Surry, surry, surry, surry
[Verse 6]
There'll be trains of blossoms (There'll be trains of blossoms)
There'll be trains of music (There'll be music)
There'll be trains of trust
Trains of golden dust (Come along, surry, oh, sweet trains of thought)
(Surry on down)
Can you surry, can you surry? (Can you surry?)
[Verse 7]
Surry down to a stoned soul picnic
Surry down to a stoned soul picnic
There'll be lots of time and wine
Red, yellow, honey
Sassafras and moonshine
Red, yellow, honey
Sassafras and moonshine, moonshine
Stoned soul, yeah
[Outro]
Surry on, soul
Surry, surry, surry, surry
Ooh, surry, ooh, surry, ooh, surry, ooh, surry
Ooh, surry, ooh, surry, ooh, surry...
