Outfox the Fox (From "The Court Jester") |
Only the sharpest eyes, The Keenest nose |
The quickest ears, fleetest toes |
Can ever outfox the Fox |
(The men echo, «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 |
(Will ever outfox the Fox) |
Those who try to tangle with my daring do Wind up at the angle that herring do |
(They hold their head |
like every dead herring do) |
Only the sprightliest sprite, the nimblest elf, |
The wickedest old witch or the devil himself |
can ever outfox the Fox |
(Can ever outfox the fox) |
Whenever they try to find me They find me where I am not |
I’m hither and yond, I’m there and gone, |
I’m Johnny-not-on-the spot! |
(He whistle as he jump to a low tree branch) |
I’m out on a limb they think! |
(He whistles again, jumping down) |
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 to 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 yond, 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 |
never outfox the… |
never outfox the Fox |
