Lyrics
A fox went out in a hungry plight
And he prayed for the moon to give him light
For he'd many a mile to trot that night
Before he reached the town-o, town -o town-o
He'd many a mile to trot that night
Before he reached the town-o
Well first he came to a farmer's yard
Where the ducks and geese declared it hard
That their nerves should be shattered and their rest be marred
By the visit of Mr fox-O fox-o etc
He grabbed the grey goose by the sleeve
Says he, Madam Goose and by your leave
I'll carry you away without reprieve
And take you home to my den-o etc
He grabbed the black duck by the neck
Slung her over across his back,
The black duck cried out, Quack, quack, quack
With her legs hanging, dangling down-o etc
Then old Mrs Slipper Slopper jumped out of bed
And out of the window she pocked her head
Crying John John the grey goose has gone
And the fox is on the town-o town-o town-o etc
So John he ran to the top of the hill
And he blew a blast both loud and shrill
Said the fox, That's very pretty music still
I'd rather be in my den-o den-o etc
At last the fox got home to his den
To his dear little foxes eight, nine, ten
He said you're in luck here's a big plump duck
With her legs hanging dangling down -o etc
Then the fox and his wife without any strife
Cut up the goose without fork or knife
They'd never had such a good meal in their life
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o etc
