The fox went out on a cold night,
And asked the moon to give him light.
So it gave him light for he had miles to go,
Before he reached the town oh! oh.
He finally reached a big pen,
In it were many ducks and hens.
On seeing him they began to run,
The fox began to chase them.
He caught a hen by the neck,
Flung a duck on his back.
With them he ran fast to his den,
In it waited his wife and children ten.
They ate the hen and duck,
And thought they had wonderful luck.
After the meal they slept tight,
In their dew that moonlit night.
