AFTER THE FOX
From the film "After The Fox" (1966)
(Hal David / Burt Bacharach)
The Hollies & Peter Sellers - 1966


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 

After the fox

After the fox
