Lyrics
Now the fox went out on a chilly night
Prayed for the moon to give him light
He had many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o
Town-o, town-o
He had many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o
Well, he ran 'til he came to a great big bin
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...
He said, "A couple of you are gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town-o"
Well, he grabbed the gray goose by the neck
Slung the duck across his back
And he didn't mind the quack, quack, quack
And the legs all danglin' down-o
Down-o, down-o...
Well he didn't mind the quack, quack, quack
And the legs all danglin' down-o
Old Momma Flippy-Floppy jumped out of bed
And out of the window she popped her head
She cried "John, John, the gray goose is gone
And the fox is on the town-o!"
Town-o, town-o...
"John, John, the gray goose is gone
And the fox is on the town-o!"
Now John he went to the top of the hill
Blew his horn both loud and shrill
Said the fox "I'd better flee with my kill
For they'll soon be on my trail-o."
Trail-o, trail-o...
Said the fox "I'd better flee with my kill
For they'll soon be on my trail-o."
Well, he ran 'til he came to his cosy den
There were little ones eight, nine, ten
"Daddy, daddy, better go back again
Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o."
Town-o, town-o...
"Daddy, daddy, better go back again
Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o."
Then the fox and his wife without any strife
They cut up the goose with a fork and the 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
Now the fox went out on a chilly night
Prayed for the moon to give him light
He had many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o
Town-o, town-o
He had many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o
Town-o, town-o
He had many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o
Town-o, town-ooooo
He had many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o
