I wait till everyone’s asleep
Then out into the night i creep
No one can see me now
Or hear me running, soundlessly

The moon’s the only light i need
To search for food, young ones to feed
But as the dawn is drawing near the earth, my way’s not clear
I’m trapped on the outside

Moonlight save me, moonlight save me
Moonlight save me, moonlight save me

Unearthly fear, it grips my skin
Unearthly sound, the hunt begins
I hear excited cries
But dare not look from where i’m hiding

The multi-coloured humans ride
Soon they will find me where i hide
The brown and white tormentors
Begin to howl and then i’m running

Moonlight save me

I cut across the trail i left five miles before
One chance to throw them off my scent but i’m not sure
An elder told me it had worked sometime before

My heart is beating like a drum
I make the ridge, but can’t go on
I turn to face my death
But nothing comes to stop me breathing

Down in the clearing now i see
They’re searching all around for me
Confusion everywhere
But i am safe up here, i’ve won, i’ve won, i’ve won, i’ve won, i’ve won

Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album the fox

Being wiry and thinking loudly
About the things sent to make you move
You can’t help it, there’s no one in the world
Knows you just, just the way you do
So we keep darting through the holes
As the hunter and the fox
Run the gauntlet’s savage road

Winter’s heavy and partly cloudy
And the snowfall leaves the tracks that catch a few
Bit if you’re wiley, you will leave them lying
Snared up in the traps that they set for you
And it’s an evergreen affair
As temptation taunts the fox
Into the hunter’s waiting lair

And for mile after mile you’ll never see me tire
You’ll never see me slow down, for a while
`cause i am the fox, like it or not
I’m always gonna be there running over the rock
Yes i am the fox, a fascinating cross
Of sharp as a whip and tough as an ox
Yes i am the fox

It may sound crazy but it’s often lonely
And the restless heart should be captured once in a while
Then you can use them, and you often fool them
Into believing whatever you desire
So i’ll keep moving through the night
The hunter and the hunted
On their designated flights

Oh the fox went out on a chilly night
Prayed for the moon to give him light
For he had many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o,
Many a mile to go that night before he reached the town-o

He ran ‘til he came to a great big pen
Where the ducks and the geese were kept therein
He said, "a couple of you are gonna grease my chin
Before i leave this town-o, town-o, town-o,
A couple of you are gonna grease my chin before i leave this town-o!"

He grabbed the grey goose by the neck
Threw the ducks across his back
He didn’t mind the "quack, quack, quack"
And the legs all danglin’ down-o, down-o, down-o,
He didn’t mind the "quack, quack, quack" and the legs all danglin’ down-o

Then old mother flipper flopper jumped out of bed
Out of the window she popped her head
Cryin’, "john, john, the grey goose is gone
And the fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o,
John! john! the grey goose is gone and the fox is on the town-o!"

Then john he ran to the top of the hill
Blew his horn both loud and shrill
The fox he said, "i better flee with my kill
For they’ll soon be on my trail-o, trail-o, trail-o,"
The fox he said, "i better flee with my kill for they’ll soon be on my trail-o"

Well he ran til he came to his cozy den
There were his little ones, eight, nine, ten
Cryin’, "daddy, daddy, better go back again
Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o,
Daddy, daddy, better go back again cause it must be a mighty fine town-o!"

Then the fox and his wife, without any strife
Cut up the goose with a carving knife
They never had such a supper in their life
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o,
They never had such a supper in their life and the little ones chewed on the bones-o!

The Fox went out on a chilly night
He prayed for the moon to give him light
For he had many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o
He had many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o

He ran till he came to the farmers pen
The ducks and the geese were kept therein
He said a couple of you are gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o
A couple of you are gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town-o

[BRIDGE (Mandolin)]

He grabbed the great goose by the neck
He threw a duck across his back
And he didn’t mind the quack, quack
And the legs all danglin’ down-o, down-o, down-o
He didn’t mind the quack, quack
And the legs all danglin’ down-o

Well the old gray Woman jumped out of bed
Out of the window she popped her head
Cryin’ John, John the great goose is gone
The Fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o
John, John the great goose is gone
And the Fox is on the town-o

[BRIDGE (Fiddle)]

He ran till he came to his nice warm den
And there were the little ones 8, 9, 10
Sayin’ Daddy, Daddy better go back again
It must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o
Daddy, Daddy go back again
For it must be a mighty fine town-o

The Fox and his Wife, without any strife
They cut up the goose with a fork and a knife
And they never had such a supper in their life
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o
They never had such a supper in their life
And the little ones chewed on the bones
