he was a fine old gander.
He'd slip through the crack
and off he would meander.
He'd call up all the little girl geese
and they'd all look flinged.
now this is what they sing.
Oh, let's take off like a moody's goose
Flyin' high and runnin' loose
Baby, I'm gonna show you round,
Now let's take off like a moody's goose
Flyin' high and runnin' loose
We'll make all the nice spots
We'll dance all night till our feet get sore
Pull off our shoes and dance some more
On the way home we'll stop and park
By the side of the road where it is dark
Let's take off like a Moody's Goose
Flyin' high and runnin' loose
Moody watched the old grey goose
A -slippin' through the crack
He'd take off on the wild goose chase
And then he'd come a -slippin' back
Mr. Moody thought he'd do the same
His wife got wise and blacked his eyes
Oh, let's take off like a Moody's goose
Flyin' high, runnin' loose
Baby, I'm a -gonna show you round
Well, let's take off like a Moody's goose
Flyin' high, runnin' loose
We'll make all the night spots
We'll dance all night till the beat gets sore
Put on our shoes and dance some more
On the way home we'll stop and park
To the side of the road where it is dark
Let's take off like a Moody's Goose
Flyin' high and runnin' loose
Moody's Goose got out one day
And tore out on the bender
He stuffed himself with peas and corn
Till he was fat and tender
Miss Moody went and chased that goose
Now Moody's goose is cooked,
flying high and running loose, baby,
I'm telling you, we're gonna have a time!
