Greetings:

This one is just for fun. It's to be sung to the tune of "The Fox," a traditional Anglo-American folksong. In case you forgot how "The Fox" goes, here is the first stanza. Chord changes are written immediately before the syllable on which they take place.


[C] The fox went out on a [G7] chase one night,
He [C] prayed to the moon to [G7] give him light,
He had [C] many a mile to [F] go that night,
Be- [C] fore he [G7] reached the [C] town-o!
[G7] Town-o, [C] town-o!
He had [F] many a mile to [C] go that night,
Be- [G7] fore he reached the [C] town-o!


Got it? Good.

Now here's the new song, appended below. Enjoy!

Have a merry whatever you celebrate as well as a happy New Year.

LITTLE GEORGIE'S TALE
Music: "The Fox" (traditional)
Words: Stephen L. Suffet © 2001

Little Georgie went out on a binge one night,
He had some drinks that made him tight,
He had some powder, snowy white,
And they hauled him off to jail-o!
Jail-o, jail-o!
He had some powder, snowy white,
And they hauled him off to jail-o!

They gave Little Georgie his one phone call,
Phone started ringing on his Daddy's wall.
"Daddy, better come down to the hall,
And get me out of this jail-o!
Jail-o, jail-o!
Daddy, better come down to the hall,
And get me out of this jail-o!"

Daddy came down without any fail,
Got Little Georgie out of jail,
Daddy paid Little Georgie's bail,
Then went skiing in Vail-o!
Vail-o, Vail-o!
Daddy paid Little Georgie's bail,
Then went skiing in Vail-o!

The rest of the story you now shall hear,
The rest of the story is very queer,
The records they all disappear,
And that's the end of my tale-o!
Tale-o, tale-o!
The records they all disappear,
And that's the end of my tale-o!

The moral of the story is this, I think:
Take that snort and have that drink,
If Daddy can get you out of the clink,
And send you off to Yale-o!
Yale-o, Yale-o!
If Daddy can get you out of the clink,
And send you off to Yale-o!
