| The Fox went out on a chilly night
|
| And then he 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
|
| Many a mile to go that night
|
| 'Fore he reached the town-o
|
| He ran till he came to the farmers pen
|
| 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 great goose by the neck
|
| And he threw a duck 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
|
| Old mother Flipper Flopper jumped out of bed
|
| Out of the window she popped her head
|
| Cryin' John, John the great goose is gone
|
| And the Fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o
|
| John, John the great goose is gone
|
| And the Fox is on the town-o
|
| He ran till he came to his nice warm den
|
| And there were the little ones 8, 9, 10
|
| Cryin', Dad, dad, you better go back again
|
| 'Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o
|
| Dad, dad, you better go back again
|
| 'Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o
|
| The Fox and his Wife, without any strife
|
| They cut up the goose with a fork and a 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 |
