Classic Poem

1.

A hungry fox went out one night —
He begged the moon to give him light
For he had many miles to trot that night
Before he could reach 'is dinno,
Dinno, dinno. Before he could reach 'is dinno.

2.

Soon he reached the farmer's yard;
The ducks and geese declared it hard;
Their nerves were shaken and rest was marred
By a visit by Mister Foxo,
Foxo, Foxo. A visit by Mister Foxo.

3.

He grabbed the black duck by the neck
And flung him all across his back;
The black duck cried out, " Quack, quack, quack, "
And his heels hung dangling downo,
Downo, downo. And his heels hung dangling downo.

4.

Old Lady Slipper-slopper jumped out of bed,
Hoist up the window and thrust out her head,
Crying, " John, John, John, the black duck's gone;
The fox is off to his dinno. "
Dinno, dinno. The fox is off to his dinno.

5.

John ran up on the hill
And blew a blast both loud and shrill.
Said the fox, " That's pretty music still
I would rather be off to my dinno. "
Dinno, dinno. I would rather be off to my dinno.

6.

Master fox trotted off to his den,
To his dear little foxes, eight, nine, ten;
Showing the luck of a good fat duck
And his legs hang dangling downo,
Downo, downo. And his legs hang dangling downo.

7.

Master fox and his hungry wife
Ate very well without fork and knife;
They never had a better meal in all their life
And the little ones slicked the boneso,
Boneso, boneso. And the little ones slicked the boneso.
