The Fox

Lyrics

The fox went out one chilly night
 He prayed for the moon to give him lights
 For he had many a mile to go that night
 Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o
 Many a mile to go that night before he reached the town-o
 While he ran 'til he came to a great big pen
 The ducks and the geese were there, put in
 He said, "A couple of you gonna grease my chin
 Before I leave this town o, town o, town o
 Couple of you gonna grease my chin before I leave this town-o"
 When he grabbed, he grabbed a goose by the neck
 And he slung a duck across his back
 He didn't mind, "Quack, quack quack"
 The legs all dangling down-o, down-o, down-o
 He didn't mind with the "Quack, quack quack"
 Legs all dangling down-o
 Old mother Flipper Flapper jumped out of bed
 She ran to the window when she put out her head
 She cried, "John, John the grey goose is gone
 The fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o
 John, John the grey goose is gone the fox is on the town-o"
 Well, then John he ran to the top of the hill
 He blowed his horn both loud and shrill
 The fox he said I'll be thrilled to kill those on my trail-o, trail-o, trail-o
 The fox he said I'll be thrilled to kill those on my trail-o
 He ran 'til he came to his cosy den
 There were the little ones, eight
 They said Daddy you better go back again'
 'Cause they must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o
 They said Daddy you better go back again' 'cause it must be a mighty fine town-o
 Well, the fox and his wife without any strife
 Cut up the goose with a fork and knife
 They never had such a supper in their life
 And the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o
 They never had such a supper in their life
 And the little ones chewed on the bones-o
