Verse 1

  (add2) [F9-5] [1x1203]

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

Chorus

  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

Verse 2

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 (ha ha ha...), so

[repeat chorus]

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

[repeat chorus (hold final F#m7 two extra bars)]
