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 towno, towno, towno Many a mile to go that night before he reached the towno He ran til he came to a great big pen Where the ducks and the geese were kept therein He said, A couple of you are gonna grease my chin Before I leave this towno, towno, towno A couple of you are gonna grease my chin before I leave this towno! He grabbed the grey goose by the neck Threw the ducks across his back He didnt mind the quack, quack, quack And the legs all danglin downo, downo, downo He didnt mind the quack, quack, quack and the legs all danglin downo Then old mother Flipper Flopper jumped out of bed Out of the window she popped her head Cryin, John, John, the grey goose is gone And the fox is on the towno, towno, towno John! John! The grey goose is gone and the fox is on the towno! Then 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 theyll soon be on my trailo, trailo, trailo, The fox he said, I better flee with my kill for theyll soon be on my trailo Well he ran til he came to his cozy den There were his little ones, eight, nine, ten Cryin, Daddy, daddy, better go back again Cause it must be a mighty fine towno, towno, towno Daddy, daddy, better go back again cause it must be a mighty fine towno! 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 boneso, boneso, boneso They never had such a supper in their life and the little ones chewed on the boneso!
