Fox Went Out (Den-O) 
Fox Went Out (Den-O) 
A hungry fox jumped up in fright And he begged for the moon to give him light, For he had many miles to trot that night, Before he reached his Den-o.
 Den-o, Den-o, for he had many miles to trot that night Before he reached his Den-o. 
So he cocked up his head and out went his tail And off he went on the long, long trail Which he done many times in calm and gale But he always got back to his Den-o.
 Den-o, Den-o, (repeat last two lines). 
And soon he came to the old farm yard Where the ducks and geese to him were barred But he always got one by working hard To take back to his Den-o.
 Den-o, Den-o, (repeat last two lines). 
He grabbed the grey goose by the neck And slung her right across his back And the old grey goose went quack, quack, quack But the fox was off to his Den-o.
 Den-o, Den-o, (repeat last two lines). 
Ol' Mother Slipper Slopper jumped out of bed And out of the window she poked her head, Oh, John, John, the grey goose has gone And the fox is off to his Den-o.
 Den-o, Den-o, (repeat last two lines). 
John went up to the top of the hill And he blew a trumpet loud and shrill Said the fox, that's very pretty music, still I'd rather be in my Den-o.
 Den-o, Den-o, (repeat last two lines). 
At last he got back to his den To his dear little foxes eight, none, ten And they've had many fat geese since then And sometimes a good fat hen-o 
 Hen-o, Hen-o, (repeat last two lines).
