Can you surry, can you picnic? Can you surry, can you picnic? 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, moonshine. Stoned soul, stoned soul. Come on, come on and 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 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. 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, stoned soul. Surry on soul. Surry, surry, surry, surry. Surry, surry, surry, surry…

A versão mais conhecida foi gravada pelo grupo 5th Dimension, sendo o primeiro single do álbum de mesmo nome e atingindo o terceiro lugar na U.S. Pop chart e o segundo na Billboard R&B chart, além de alcançar status de platina.
A canção foi composta e gravada por Laura Nyro em seu álbum *Eli and the Thirteenth Confession*, lançado em março de 1968.
Foi o produtor Bones Howe quem sugeriu ao 5th Dimension que a canção fosse coberta, o que levou o grupo a gravar outras músicas de Nyro como “Sweet Blindness”, “Wedding Bell Blues”, “Blowin’ Away” e “Save the Country”.
O vibrafonista jazz Roy Ayers gravou uma versão instrumental que ficou como título do álbum *Stoned Soul Picnic* lançado em 1968.
A palavra “surry”, usada na letra (“Surry down to a stoned soul picnic”), é um neologismo de Nyro cujo significado permanece desconhecido; ao ser questionado pelo produtor Charlie Calello, Nyro respondeu que era apenas uma “palavra bonita”.
Possíveis origens para “surry” incluem slurry (fluido de mineração), contração de “let’s hurry”, ou o carruagem Surrey popular nos finais do século XIX e início do XX.
