The Fox
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 town-o, town-o, town-o Many a mile to go that night before he reached the town-o He ran 'til he came to the (?) 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 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 Threw the ducks across his back 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 The old woman 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 town-o, town-o, town-o John! john! the grey goose is gone and the fox is on the town-o!" Well he ran til he came to his cozy den There were his little ones, eight, nine, ten SongtexteCryin', "daddy, daddy, better go back again Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o Daddy, daddy, better go back again cause it must be a mighty fine town-o!" Then the fox and his wife, without any strife They cut up the goose with a fork and a knife 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 (Yeah) Aus Songtexte Mania
