Текст песни Outfox the Fox - Danny Kaye feat. The Jud Conlon Singers

Only the sharpest eye, the keenest nose
The quickest ear, and the fleetest toes
Can ever outfox the fox
(They'll never outfox the fox!)

Only the stoutest arm; the bravest heart
With a magic charm, and a good head-start
Will ever outfox the fox
(They'll never outfox the fox!)

Those who try to tangle with my derring-do
Wind up at the angle that herring do
(They hold their heads, like very dead herring do!)

Only a sprightly sprite, the nimblest elf
The wickedest witch, or the devil himself
Can ever outfox the fox
(They'll never outfox the fox!)

Whenever they try to find me
They find me where I am not
I'm hither and yon; I'm there and gone
I'm Johnny-not-on-the-spot!

I'm out on a limb, they think!
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 too 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

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 yon, 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 the fox!

Anyone of us can be, at any time, 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!)

Oh, I'm the fox
(No, I'm the fox!)
Is he the fox?
(No, me the fox!)
(If he's the fox?)
(Don't squeeze the fox!)
(I'll choose the fox)
Don't lose the fox!

Because, no matter who's the fox
There'll never, 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 fox)
Never outfox the fox!
