Lyrics

After the Fox

[The Hollies]

Who is the fox?

[Peter Sellers]

I am the fox!

[The Hollies]

Who are you?

[Peter Sellers]

I am me!

[The Hollies]

Who is me?

[Peter Sellers]

Me is a thief

[The Hollies]

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?

[Peter Sellers]

It's on the truck

[The Hollies]

Where's the truck?

[Peter Sellers]

I won't tell

[The Hollies]

You must tell

[Peter Sellers]

Then I will lie!

[The Hollies]

You'll make your poor, poor sister cry

[Peter Sellers]

Ha ha ha . 

[The Hollies]

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?

[Peter Sellers]

So I'll be rich

[The Hollies]

Why not work?

[Peter Sellers]

Work is hard!

[The Hollies]

You'll be caught

[Peter Sellers]

I never fail!

[The Hollies]

All little crooks wind up in jail

[Peter Sellers]

Not me, not me!

[The Hollies]

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
