Fox - just a game.



I'm running, I'm dancing,
I'm chasing a small mouse.
He's running, I'm wheeling,
He's running in his house.
I'm rolling, I'm jumping,
I'm trotting down the lane.
I'm dancing, I'm sniffing,
cos this is just a game.
      I'm listening, I'm worried,
as now I hear the horn.
I'm fleeing, I'm skiting,
I'm dashing on the lawn.
I'm flying, I'm zooming,
I'm running for my life.
I'm crying, I'm dodging,
like running on a knife.
I'm hiding, I'm hoping,
that they wont find me here.
They're sniffing, they're digging,
I know that they are near.
They spot me, I cower,
They grab me by the ear.
They toss me, they bite me,
I'm frozen up with fear.
I'm dying, I'm whining,
in agonizing pain.
They're laughing, They're joking
cos this is just a game???
