lyrics
The morning air was filled with sorrow
Tangled were the leafy boughs
The fox approached a grassy hollow
And lie beneath a willow’s brow
Up the path the badger rambled
Fumbling through the fleecy frond
Blindly and alone he traveled
Humming merrily along
You are but foolish for I am the ruthless
Deceitful and mischievous fox
Artful and fickle for I am the brittle
Cruel and merciless fox
Good morning grinned the fox so kindly
’Tis a day so sweet and calm
Would you come along so finely
Let us sing a joyful song
Certainly the badger stuttered
I shall come along with thee
To see the robins and the sparrows
There within the weeping tree
The fox so sly and fiercely clever
Led him to a bristly claw
With crafty grin and red fur feather
Never the sun the badger saw
You are but foolish for I am the ruthless
Deceitful and mischievous fox
Artful and fickle for I am the brittle
Cruel and merciless fox
