Sly Fox the Destroyer

Sly fox, you deceiver
Trying to make me a believer
Tempting me
Pre-empting me
Of your bogus lies, I am the receiver

You look so fine in your red fur coat
Batting your eyes, my ego’s stroked
I’ve fallen for your foxy ways
That have ended my innocent days
I’ve fallen prey
My soul’s been slayed
Foxy destroyer, please go away

You’re empowered
I’m devoured
The sly fox has conquered 
Another coward

I am caught in your fox trap
You are captured in my rap
But you like it where you are put
While I try to chew off my foot

Another victim of the fox deceiver
I warn you boys, do not believe her
She’ll coax you into her foxy den
And consume your heart like a fresh farm hen

Lady fox, you are so sly
No match for this country guy
Limping away with a foot chewed off
Sorry for the next guy you caught

Sly fox I leave you behind
But always you’ll be on my mind
One of a kind
Making men blind
No love they’ll find
It’s foxy time
