The Fox

Let me tell you about a bold and brave man he no doubt took the Fatherland by storm his mighty Afrika Corps never broke form North Africa The Desert Fox made his stand chorus the Fox could never be caught guts and glory is what he sought The Field Marshall was loyal to the end his honor we must defend He was the Fuhrers favorite general outwitted Mongomery at every turn the Flak 88 made British armor burn from Tripoli to Tobruk the Panzers roll chorus short on supplies victory after victory was won in retreat this mans brilliance was shown at Kasserine pass allied advance was blown he fell ill before the job could be done chorus fought valiantly in the Normandy attack now critically wounded in an air raid falsely accused as traitor the ultimate price was paid Speidel and Stauffenberg courage they lack chorus he's forever linked to the yellow stain scam implicating for post war power Field Marshall Rommel would never betray at zero hour this man was loyal no matter the pride and pain chorus(2)
