“Oh, A-Hunting We Will Go”
 
1.

Oh, a-hunting we will go,
A-hunting we will go;
We’ll catch a fox and put him in a box,
And then we’ll let him go!

2.

Oh, a-hunting we will go,
A-hunting we will go;
We’ll catch a fish and put him on a dish,
And then we’ll let him go!

3. Oh, a-hunting we will go,
A-hunting we will go;
We’ll catch a bear and cut his hair,
And then we’ll let him go!
4. Oh, a-hunting we will go,
A-hunting we will go;
We’ll catch a pig and dance a jig,
And then we’ll let him go!
5. Oh, a-hunting we will go,
A-hunting we will go;
We’ll catch a giraffe and make him laugh,
And then we’ll let him go!
