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

A great big pen

Where the ducks and the

Geese were put therein

"A couple of you will

Grease my chin

Before I leave this

Town-o town-o town-o

A couple of you will

Grease my chin

Before I leave this town-o "

He grabbed the gray

Goose by the neck

Throwed a duck across his back

He didn't mind their

Quack quack quack

And their legs a-dangling

Down-o down-o down-o

He didn't mind their

Quack quack quack

And their legs a-dangling down-o

Then old Mother Flipper-Flopper

Jumped out of bed

Out of the window she

Cocked her head

Crying "John John

The gray goose is gone

And the fox is on the

Town-o town-o town-o "

Crying "John John

The gray goose is gone

And the fox is on the town-o "

Then John he went to

The top of the hill

Blowed his horn both

Loud and shrill

The fox he said

"I better flee with my kill

Or they'll soon be on

My trail-o trail-o trail-o "

The fox he said

"I better flee with my kill

Or they'll soon be on my trail-o "

He ran till he came

To his cozy den

There were the little

Ones eight nine ten

They said

"Daddy better go back again

'Cause it must be a mighty

Fine town-o town-o town-o "

They said "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 fork and 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
