The Fox Songtext

The fox went out to the chase one night Prayed to 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 before he reached the town Many a mile to go that night before he reached the town He ran 'til he came to a great big pen Where the ducks and the geese were kept there in Said a couple of you gonna grease my chin Before I leave this town o, town o, town o Couple of you gonna grease my chin before I leave this town Couple of you gonna grease my chin before I leave this town He grabbed the grey goose by the neck Throwed a duck across his back He didn't amind with the quack, quack quack And the legs all dang-ling down-o, down-o, down-o Didn't amind with the quack, quack quack And the legs all dang-ling down-o, down-o, down-o Didn't amind with the quack, quack quack And the legs all dang-ling down-o, down-o, down-o Old mother Flipper Flapper jumped out of bed Out of the window she cocked 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 John, John the grey goose is gone And the fox is on the town-o Well, the fox he came to his own den There were the little ones, eight, nine, ten Saying Daddy you better go back again 'Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o Saying Daddy you better go back again 'Cause it must be a mighty fine town Saying Daddy you better go back again 'Cause it must be a mighty fine town Well, 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 Never had such a supper in their life And the little ones chewed on the bones Never had such a supper in their life And the little ones chewed on the bones
