Song Lyrics

Well the fox went out upon a windy night
Prayed to the moon a-gonna give him light
He had many long miles to go that night
Before he a-reached that town oh town oh town
He had many long miles to go that night
Before he reached that town oh

Well the fox he came to a great big pen
Where the ducks and the geese were kept there in
He said one of you'se is gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town oh town oh town oh
One one of you'se is gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town oh

Well he grabbed a grey goose by the neck
Throwed a duck up across his back
And he did not mind the quack quack quack
And the legs all dangling down oh down oh down oh
No he did not mind the quack quack quack
And the legs all dangling down oh

Well old mother flipper flopper jumped out of bed
Threw back the shutter and stuck out her head
Yelled john john john well the grey goose is gone
And the fox runs away from the town oh town oh town oh
John john john the grey goose he's a-gone
And the fox runs away from the town oh

Well old john went up to the top of the hill
He blew his horn both load and shrill
And the fox said I better hurry up with my kill
There gonna soon be on my trail oh trail oh trail oh
Well the fox said I better hurry up with my kill
There gonna soon be on my trail oh

Well the fox he came to his cozy den
There sat the little ones eight nine ten
Said pop pop pop you better go back again
Cos it must be a mighty fine town oh town oh town oh
Pop pop pop you better go back again
Cos it must be a mighty fine town oh

Well the fox and his wife without any strife
Cut up the goose with a fork and a knife
And they never never had such a feast in their life
And the little ones chewed on a bone oh bone oh bone oh
No they never never had such a feast in their life
And the little ones chewed on a bone
