The Fox

Oh, 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'd reach the town-o, town-o, town-o

He'd many a mile to go that night

Before he'd reach the town-o

He ran till he came to the farmer's pen

The ducks and the geese were kept there in

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 grey goose by the neck

He threw a duck across his back

And he didn't mind the quack-quack-quack

And the legs all dangling down-o, down-o, down-o

He didn't mind the quack-quack

And the legs all dangling down-o

Oh, the old grey woman jumped outta bed

She ran to the window and popped out her head

And said 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

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

Saying, "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"

Oh, 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-o
