The Fox went out on a chilly night

He said a couple of you are gonna grease my chin
G        D          G       D       G
Before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o

He didn't mind the quack, quack, quack
G       D                 G       D       G
And the legs all danglin' down-o, down-o, down-o
C                  G
He didn't mind the quack, quack, quack
D                         G
And the legs all danglin' down-o

[Verse 4]

Old mother Flipper Flopper jumped out of bed
G                     D

He ran till he came to his nice warm den

And there were the little ones: eight, nine, ten

Cryin', dad, dad, you better go back again
G                D           G       D       G
For it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o

For it must be a mighty fine town-o

[Verse 6]

The Fox and his Wife, without any strife
G                              D
They cut up the goose with the carving knife
G                     C
They never had such a meal in their life
G                   D             G        D        G
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o

They never had such a meal in their life
D                                 G
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o
