[Verse: Jim O'Rourke and Masaya Nakahara]
Who is the fox?
I am the fox
Who are you?
I am me
Who is "me"?
Me is a thief
You'll bring your poor, poor mother grief
What?

[Chorus: Jim O'Rourke]
After the fox, after the fox
Off to the hunt with chains and locks
After the fox, after the fox
Someone is always chasing after the fox

[Verse: Jim O'Rourke and Masaya Nakahara]
Where's the gold?
It's on the truck
Where's the truck?
I won't tell
You must tell
Then I will lie
You'll make your poor, poor sister cry

[Chorus: Jim O'Rourke]
After the fox, after the fox
Off to the hunt with chains and locks
After the fox, after the fox
Someone is always chasing after the fox
[Verse: Jim O'Rourke and Masaya Nakahara]
Why do you steal?
So I'll be rich
Why not work?
Work is hard
You'll get caught
I never fail
All little crooks wind up in jail
Not me, not me, that's impossible!

[Chorus: Jim O'Rourke]
After the fox, after the fox
Off to the hunt with chains and locks
After the fox, after the fox
Someone is always chasing after the fox

[Chatter in Japanese by Masaya Nakahara and Akira Sakata]
