Can you surry? Can you picnic?
Can you surry? Can you picnic?
Come on, come on, let's 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
Come on, come on
Let's surry down to a stoned soul picnic
Surry down to a stoned soul picnic
Rain and sun come in akin
And from the sky, come the Lord and the lightning
And from the sky, come the Lord and the lightning
Stoned soul, stoned soul
Surry on soul
Surry, surry, surry, surry
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 the golden dust
Come along and surry on sweet trains of thought, surry on down
Can you surry? Can you surry?
Surry down to a stoned soul picnic
Can you 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
Surry on soul
