Outfox the Fox

Only the sharpest eye, the keenest nose, the quickest ear and the fleetest toes
Can ever outfox the fox

Only the stoutest arm, the bravest heart, with a magic charm and a good head start
Will ever outfox the fox

Those who try to tangle with my daring do
Wind up at the angle that herring do

Only the sprightliest sprite, the nimblest elf, the wickedest witch or the devil himself
Can ever outfox the fox

Whenever they try to find me
They find me where I am not
I'm hither and yon, I'm there and gone,
I'm Johnny-not-on-the spot!

I'm out on a limb they think!
I'm down on the ground in a wink

My enemies say "Gadzooks! It's spooks!"
Shivering in their socks
They know that they'll never, I'm far too clever
They'll never outfox the fox!

The fox
There's only one of me
Till suddenly there's two of me
When two is what you see of me
Gadzooks!
Three of me
That's the proper score of me
Three of us is the core of me
And we can tell you- Woops!
Sorry, four of me

Fa la la!

There's one of me, two of me, three of me, four of me, five six seven
Sorry, no more of me

Each as strong as ten are we
Very stout hearted men are we
We're off to fight all wrong
And we'll right it
Right or wrong

I'm hither and yon, I'm there and gone, I'm Johnny-not-on-the spot!

Only the sharpest eye, the keenest nose, the quickest ear and the fleetest toes
Can ever outfox the fox
Can ever outfox... can ever outfox... can ever outfox... can ever outfox the fox

Anyone of us can be at anytime the fox

But I tell you confidentially that I'm the fox

No I'm no I'm no I'm no I'm no I'm the fox

Well I'm the Fox

No, I'm the fox
Is he the fox?
No, me the fox
If he's the one, then who's this fox?
Aren't you the fox?
Now who's the fox?

Because no matter who's the fox
There'll never never never never
never never never
never never never never never outfox the fox
never outfox the fox
never outfox the fox!
