The Fox
The fox went out on a chilly night
He prayed for the moon to give him light
For he'd many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o
He'd many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o
He ran 'til he came to the farmer's pen
The ducks and the geese were kept therein
He said, "A couple of you are gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o"
A couple of you are gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town-o
He grabbed the great goose by the neck
He threw a duck across his back
And he didn't mind the quack-quack
And the legs all danglin' down-o, down-o, down-o
He didn't mind the quack-quack
And the legs all danglin' down-o
Well, the old gray woman jumped out of bed
Out of the window she popped her head
Crying "John, John, the great goose is gone
The fox is in the town-o, town-o, town-o"
John, John, the great goose is gone
And the fox is on the town-o
He ran 'til he came to his nice warm den
And there were the little ones, eight, nine, ten
Sayin', "Daddy, daddy better go back again
It must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o"
Daddy, daddy go back again
For it must be a mighty fine town-o
The fox and his wife, without any strife
They cut up the goose with a fork and a knife
And 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
He prayed for the moon to give him light
For he'd many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o
He'd many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o
He ran 'til he came to the farmer's pen
The ducks and the geese were kept therein
He said, "A couple of you are gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o"
A couple of you are gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town-o
He grabbed the great goose by the neck
He threw a duck across his back
And he didn't mind the quack-quack
And the legs all danglin' down-o, down-o, down-o
He didn't mind the quack-quack
And the legs all danglin' down-o
Well, the old gray woman jumped out of bed
Out of the window she popped her head
Crying "John, John, the great goose is gone
The fox is in the town-o, town-o, town-o"
John, John, the great goose is gone
And the fox is on the town-o
He ran 'til he came to his nice warm den
And there were the little ones, eight, nine, ten
Sayin', "Daddy, daddy better go back again
It must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o"
Daddy, daddy go back again
For it must be a mighty fine town-o
The fox and his wife, without any strife
They cut up the goose with a fork and a knife
And 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
