[Verse]
Well the Cfox went out on a chilly night;
He prayed to the moon to Ggive him light.
He had Cmany a mile to Fgo that night
BeCfore he Greached the Ctown-o.
     GTown-o, Ctown-o
     FMany a mile to Cgo that night
     BeGfore he reached the Ctown-o
Well he Cran til he came to the farmer's den
Where the ducks and the geese were Gkept penned in.
Said, "A Ccouple of you will Fgrease my chin
BeCfore I Gleave this Ctown-o."
     GTown-o, Ctown-o
     FA couple of you will Cgrease my chin
     BeGfore I leave this Ctown-o
Well he Cgrabbed the gray goose by the neck.
He slung the duck aGcross his back.
He dCidn't mind the Fquack! quack!
Or their Clegs all Gdanglin' Cdown-o.
     GDown-o, Cdown-o
     FDidn't mind the Cquack! Cquack! Cquack!
     Or their Glegs all danglin' Cdown-o
Well COl' Mother Giggle Gaggle jumped outta bed.
Outta the window she Gpopped her head;
She cried, " CJohn, John the gray Fgoose is gone,
And the Cfox is Gin the Ctown-o!"
     GTown-o, Ctown-o
     FJohn, John, the gray Cgoose is gone
     And the Gfox is in the Ctown-o
Well he Cran til he came to his nice warm den.
CThere were the little ones... Geight, nine, ten.
They said, "CDaddy, better Fgo back again
Cause it Cmust 'a been a Gmighty fine Ctown-o!"
     GTown-o, Ctown-o
     FDaddy, daddy better Cgo back again
     Cause it Gmust 'a been a mighty fine Ctown-o
Well the Cfox and his wife, without any strife,
Cut up the goose with a Gfork and knife.
They Cnever had such a Fdinner in their life
And the Clittle ones Gchewed on the Cbones-o
     GBones-o, Cbones-o
     FNever had such a Cdinner in their life
     And the Glittle ones chewed on the Cbones-o
