_(verse 1)_
The wily fox, he knows his tricks
He'll turn and twist and never fix
One eye behind, the other in front
He's got a cunning plan up front
_(chorus)_
But don't you despair, don't be so down
There's a way to outfox the fox in town
Just think a bit and scheme and plan
You'll find a way to outsmart that man
_(verse 2)_
Now, you might think he's got you there
But don't give in, don't show despair
He's sly, but you can be slyer
Just use your wits and be a trier
_(chorus)_
So don't you despair, don't be so down
There's a way to outfox the fox in town
Just think a bit and scheme and plan
You'll find a way to outsmart that man
_(verse 3)_
He might pretend he's got you beat
He'll even play it oh-so-sweet
But don't fall for his tricks and wiles
They're just a cover for his piles
_(chorus)_
So don't you despair, don't be so down
There's a way to outfox the fox in town
Just think a bit and scheme and plan
You'll find a way to outsmart that man
