"The Fox" Oh the fox went out on a chilly night Prayed for the moon to give him light 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 He ran ▓til he came to a great big pen Where 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 grey goose by the neck Threw the ducks across his back He didn▓t mind the quack, quack, quack And the legs all danglin▓ down-o, down-o, down-o, He didn▓t mind the quack, quack, quack and the legs all danglin▓ down-o Then old mother flipper flopper jumped out of bed Out of the window she popped her head Cryin▓, john, john, the grey goose is gone And 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! Then john he ran to the top of the hill Blew his horn both loud and shrill The fox he said, I better flee with my kill For they▓ll soon be on my trail-o, trail-o, trail-o, The fox he said, I better flee with my kill for they▓ll soon be on my trail-o Well he ran til he came to his cozy den There were his little ones, eight, nine, ten Cryin▓, 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 Cut up the goose with a carving 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! |
