The Irish Rovers - The Fox lyrics

Well The fox came out on the chase one night He prayed to the Moon to give him light For he'd had many miles to go that night Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o For he'd had many miles to go that night Before he reached the town-o Well He ran till he came to a great big pen Where the ducks and the geese were kept therein "A couple of you were gonna grease my chin Before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o "A couple of you were gonna grease my chin Before I leave this town-o." He grabbed the grey goose by the neck He slopped an old duck across his back; He didn't mind with their quack, quack, quack And their legs all a-dangling down-o, down-o, down-o He didn't mind with their quack, quack, quack And their legs all a-dangling down-o Old Mother Flipper-Flopper[3] jumped out of bed; And out of the window she co*ked her head Crying, "John, John! The grey goose is gone And the fox is away to the den-o (god)!" Crying, "John, John, the grey goose is gone And the fox is away to the den-o Then The Fox he came down to his old den; There were the little ones eight, nine, ten Sayin', "Daddy, you better go back again 'cause it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o!" Sayin', "Daddy, you better go back again 'cause it must be a mighty fine town-o." And then the fox and his wife without any strife Cut up the goose with a carving knife But 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 Bones-o, bones-o They never had such a supper in their life And the little ones chewed on the bones-o
