The Fox

Song is from The Woods CD/LP, which is available at Subpop Records.
Official lyrics come with the album; I have modified them so that the lyrics posted here
reflect what I actually hear the band singing in the song.
Because that took me lots of time and effort, please do let me know
if you would like to use the lyrics I have posted here on your site.
Or even just reference my site on yours. Thanks!

on the day the duck was born
the fox was watching all along, he said
"Land Ho!" when he saw the duck
"Land Ho!" and the duck saw him too

"Shiny Pretty Fox" thought the duck

the duck came up onto the land the
fox was watching and he just laughed

"I could show you some shiny tricks" he said
"Come along we'll get our kicks," he said
"Land Ho!" for shiny tricks
"Land Ho!" for me

"Oh fox! Is this love? Can you tell me? What is love?"

that good looking fox only knew one trick
he could break hearts just lickety-split
the duck knew this game she had to quit
and her own pond she was headed to quick
"I'll go, I'll go and there's no looking back"

goodbye little fox
goodbye my fox
