FOXES
Fresh trails, foxes on the edge of town
Somebody gets a gun and takes a look around
A dozen hens with broken necks and legs are found
He calls the sheriff, the sheriff makes the siren sound
Sheriff is clever, sheriff’s really really nice
He smells the prints once and smells ’em twice
“Maybe it’s foxes, bears, or country mice”
He calls the mayor to ask him for his advice
Foxes are setting up the future of this town
Foxes are all that make the world go ’round and ’round
Mayor is stunned, fixing his eyes upon the floor
“The clues are poor, and I’ve never seen such prints before,” he says
“Can’t lift a finger, I must consult the governor”
But the roosts are all empty when the governor comes to the fore
He says, “I’m not the right person to turn to for this inquest
I’ll personally lay the file on Mr. President’s desk”
Foxes are setting up the future of this town
Foxes are all that make the world go ’round and ’round
President receives him, and says, “I’m sorry for this little hitch you’ve had to face
To better honor your talent, I’ve been preparing you a higher place
Now relax in this armchair, let’s forget about this false alarm
Let’s try some chicken wings
from my new industrial farm”
Foxes are setting up the future of this town
Foxes are all that make the world go ’round and ’round
Foxes are setting up the future of this town
Foxes are all that make the world go ’round and ’round
Fresh trails, foxes in the fields and woods
Foxes in the cities, foxes in your neighborhood
Wearing a suit, immune to any trap and noose
Foxes are killing, and leaving prints of leather shoes
Foxes!
Fresh tracks, foxes at the edge of town The sheriff is skilled, the sheriff is very, very sharp The foxes are deciding the future of this town The mayor is stunned, and stares at the ground The foxes are deciding the future of this town The President receives him, and says: “I'm sorry for this little inconvenience you've had to deal with The foxes are deciding the future of this town Fresh tracks, foxes in the fields and woods Foxes!

Someone grabs a gun and takes a look around
They find a dozen chickens with broken necks and legs
They call the sheriff, the sheriff turns on the siren
He sniffs the tracks once, he sniffs them twice
“Maybe they're foxes, brown bears, or field mice”
He calls the mayor, to ask for his opinion
The foxes are what really make the world go round
“The clues are scarce, and I've never seen tracks like these,” he says
“I can't lift a finger, I have to consult the governor”
But all the chicken coops are empty when the governor shows up
He says: “I'm not the most suitable person for this investigation
I'll put the file myself on Mr. President's desk”
The foxes are what really make the world go round
In honor of your talent, I have a higher position ready for you
Now relax in this armchair, let's forget the false alarm
Let's taste some chicken wings
from my new intensive farm”
The foxes are what really make the world go round
The foxes are deciding the future of this town
The foxes are what really make the world go round
Foxes in the cities, foxes in your neighborhood
With their elegant suits, immune to traps and snares
The foxes kill, and leave behind leather shoe prints
