The Fox

Written by：Paul Campbell

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

Well he ran till they came to the great big pen

Where the ducks and the geese were kept there in

He said a couple like you are gonna grease my chin

Before I leave this town o town o town o

Said a couple of you are gonna grease my chin

Before I leave this town o

He grabbed the gray goose by the neck

Threw the ducks 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 quack

And the legs all dangling down o

Then old mother flipper flopper jumped out of bed

Out of the window she popped her head

Crying 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

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 till he came to his cozy den

There were his little ones eight nine ten

Crying 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

They never had such a supper in their life

And the little ones chewed on the bones o
