The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night

The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night

The fox went out on a chilly night, And begged 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!

For he had 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 gonna grease my chin Before I
leave this town-o!

Town-o! town-o!

A couple of you gonna grease my chin Before I leave this town-o!”

He grabbed the gray goose by the neck, And flung a duck across his back;

He did not mind the “Quack! quack! quack!”

And their legs all dangling down-o!

Down-o! down-o!

He did not mind the “Quack! quack! quack!” And their legs all dangling
down-o!

Old Mother Flipper Flapper jumped out of bed, Out of the window she
popped her head, Crying, “John, John, the gray goose is gone And the fox
is on the town-o!

Town-o! town-o!”

Crying, “John, John, the gray goose is gone And the fox is on the
town-o!”

The fox he ran ’til he came to his den, And there were his little ones,
eight, nine, ten, Crying, “Daddy, Daddy, better go back again, ‘Cause it
must be a mighty fine town-o!

Town-o! town-o!”

Crying, “Daddy, Daddy, better go back again, ‘Cause it must be a mighty
fine town-o!”

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 bones-o!

Bones-o! bones-o!

They never had such a supper in their life, And the little ones chewed
on the bones-o!
