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 the farmer's 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
 He threw a duck across his back
 And he didn't mind the quack-quack
 And the legs all danglin' down-o, down-o, down-o
 He didn't mind the quack-quack
 And the legs all danglin' down-o
 Well, the old gray woman jumped out of bed
 Out of the window she popped her head
 Crying "John, John, the great goose is gone
 The fox is in the town-o, town-o, town-o"
 John, John, the great goose is gone
 And the fox is on the town-o
 ♪
 He ran 'til he came to his nice warm den
 And there were the little ones, eight, nine, ten
 Sayin', "Daddy, daddy better go back again
 It must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o"
 Daddy, daddy go back again
 For 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
 And 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
