Hollies - After The Fox (Bacharach/David) lyrics

Who is the fox? - I am the fox

Who are you? - I am me

Who is me? - Me is a thief

You'll bring your poor, poor mother grief

So after the fox, after the fox

Off to the hunt with chains and locks

So after the fox, after the fox

Someone is always chasing after the fox

Where is the gold? - It's on the truck

Where's the truck? - I won't tell

You must tell - Then I will lie

You'll make your poor, poor sister cry

So after the fox, after the fox

Off to the hunt with chains and locks

So after the fox, after the fox

Someone is always chasing after the fox

Why do you steal? - So I'll be rich

Why not work? - Work is hard

You'll be caught - I never fail

All little crooks wind up in jail - Not me, not me

So after the fox, after the fox

Off to the hunt with chains and locks

So after the fox, after the fox

Someone is always chasing after the fox

After the fox
