Lyrics

0:04Prayed for the moon to give him light
0:07For he had many a mile to go that night
0:11Before he reached the town o town o town o
0:16Many a mile to go that night before he reached the town o
0:23Well he ran till they came to the great big pen
0:25Where the ducks and the geese were kept there in
0:27He said a couple like you are gonna grease my chin
0:30Before I leave this town o town o town o
0:34Said a couple of you are gonna grease my chin
0:36Before I leave this town o
0:41He grabbed the gray goose by the neck
0:43Threw the ducks across his back
0:46And he didn't mind the quack quack quack
0:48And the legs all dangling down o down o down o
0:52He didn't mind the quack quack quack
0:54And the legs all dangling down o
0:59Then old mother flipper flopper jumped out of bed
1:01Out of the window she popped her head
1:03Crying john john the gray goose is gone
1:05And the fox is on the town o town o town o
1:10John john the gray goose is gone and the fox is on the town o
1:17John he ran to the top of the hill
1:19Blew his horn both loud and shrill
1:21The fox he said I better flee with my kill
1:24For they'll soon be on my trail o trail o trail o
1:28The fox he said I better flee with my kill
1:30For they'll soon be on my trail o
1:35Well he ran till he came to his cozy den
1:37There were his little ones eight nine ten
1:40Crying daddy daddy better go back again
1:41'Cause it must be a mighty fine town o town o town o
1:46Daddy daddy better go back again
1:48'Cause it must be a mighty fine town o
1:53Then the fox and his wife without any strife
1:55Cut up the goose with a carving knife
1:57They never had such a supper in their life
1:59And the little ones chewed on the bones o bones o bones o
2:04They never had such a supper in their life
2:06And the little ones chewed on the bones o
2:09They never had such a supper in their life
2:11And the little ones chewed on the bones o
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
Well he ran till they came to the great big pen
Where the ducks and the geese were kept there in
He said a couple like you are gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town o town o town o
Said a couple of you are gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town o
He grabbed the gray goose by the neck
Threw the ducks across his back
And he didn't mind the quack quack quack
And the legs all dangling down o down o down o
He didn't mind the quack quack quack
And the legs all dangling down o
Then old mother flipper flopper 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
John john the gray goose is gone and the fox is on the town o
John he ran to the top of the hill
Blew his horn both loud and shrill
The fox he said I better flee with my kill
For they'll soon be on my trail o trail o trail o
The fox he said I better flee with my kill
For they'll soon be on my trail o
Well he ran till he came to his cozy den
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
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
They never had such a supper in their life
And the little ones chewed on the bones o
