Well the fox went out on a chilly night 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 Before he reached the town-o Well he ran 'til he came to a great big pen Where the ducks and the geese were kept therein 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 grey goose by the neck Throwed it up across his back And 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 Then old mother flipper-flopper jumped out of bed Out of the window she cocked her head Cried, "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" Then Johnny went to the top of the hill He blowed his horn both loud and shrill The fox said, "I better flee with my kill Or they'll soon be on my trail-o, trail-o, trail-o" Fox said, "I better flee with my kill Or they'll soon be on my trail-o" Then he ran 'til he came to his cozy den There were little ones there, eight, nine, ten Said, "Daddy, we better go back again 'Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o Daddy, Daddy, better go back again For 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 a knife And they never had such a supper in their life When the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o They never had such a supper in their life When the little ones chewed on the bones-o Well the fox went out on a chilly night 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 Before he reached the town-o
