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. ---- Steve ---------------------- 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!
