The Merry Wives Of Windsor - Old Daddy Fox lyrics

The fox went out on a chilly night. He prayed for the moon to give him light For he'd many a mile to go that night Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o. He'd many a mile to go that night Before he reached the town-o. He ran till he came to the farmer's pen. 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." Said "A couple of you are gonna grease my chin Before I leave this town-o." He grabbed the great goose by the neck And he slung a duck across his back And he didn't mind the "QUACK, 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 grey woman jumped out of bed, She ran to the window and stuck out her head Crying "John, John, the great goose is gone And the fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o!" Crying "John, John, the great goose is gone And the fox is on the town-o!" He ran till he came to his nice warm den. Fair little-little ones, eight, nine, ten, Sayin' "Daddy, Daddy, better go back again, For it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o. Daddy, Daddy, go back again, For it must be a mighty fine town-o." The fox and his wife, without any strife, Cut up that 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.
