The Fox (in Socks)

The fox went out on a silly night

Four fine socks bound his feet up tight

For he'd many a box to fill, that's right--

The fox was quick of tongue, sir.

Hung, sir; slung, sir!

His good friend Knox stayed home from spite,

But the fox was quick of tongue, sir.

He filled his sack up with blocks and bricks

And came to a box stacked thick with chicks

But the fox was wise to their wily tricks

And made a quick trick clock stack

Chick stack, block stack

Six sick chicks for his six quick kits

And he stuck them in his clock stack

Up with a hose Slow Joe Crow rose

Saying "Quick fox reaps what a quick fox sows."

Sue sews rose on Slow Joe Crow's clothes

And slow Joe Crow sews Sue's clothes.

Whose clothes? Sue's clothes!

Sue sews rose on Slow Joe Crow's clothes

And Slow Joe Crow sews Sue's clothes.

He came to a slew of new blue goo

That a Goo-Goose chewed like a gluey stew

And the Goo-Goose asked, "How do you do?"

but the fox just kept on running

Gumming, chumming,

Though the Goo-Goose asked, "How do you do?"

The fox just kept on running.

Up came Bim with his big bent broom;

Said he to Ben, "Look at that fox zoom,"

Our big pig band'll give him a boom

And we'll bang him into next Sunday

Fun day, one day

Our big pig band'll give him a boom

And we'll bang him into next Sunday.

He ran till he came to three free cheese trees

The three cheese trees were full of fleas

They made him sneeze with their freezy breeze

And his clocks all started tocking

Knocking, clocking!

Three free fleas made the tree's cheese freeze

And the clocks all started tocking.

Well, last he came to a mottled puddle

Where tweetle beetles on a poodle battled in a bottled muddle;

The fox said, "Well this is some real fuddle duddle,

And I think I'll leave this song now

Gone now, wrong now!

The fox and his kits ordered out for noodles

And skeddadled down from this song now.
