Fox, you've stolen the goose
Give it back!
Give it back!
Or the hunter will get you
With his gun,
Or the hunter will get you
With his gun.
His big, long gun,
Takes a little shot at you,
Takes a little shot at you,
So, you're tinged with red
And then you're dead.
So, you're tinged with red
And then you're dead.
Dear little fox, let me advise you:
Don't be a thief,
Don't be a thief,
Don't take the roast goose,
Be content with the mouse.
Don't take the roast goose,
Be content with the mouse.
