[Intro: Ragtime Piano Solo, Vinyl Crackle, Analog Grain Texture] [Verse 1: Spoken-Edge Delivery, Room-Reflection Presence, Upbeat Vaudeville Piano] The postman brings me letters and the neighbor wants a chat The boss is on the telephone, the hound has chased the cat I pat my empty cages and I check the wooden floor But I have reached the limit and I cannot offer more [Pre-Chorus: Tempo increase, Snare roll, Sarcastic Edge Vocal] I've searched the highest mountains and I've scoured the deepest tree But the kennel is completely bare, as anyone can see [Chorus 1: Hushed Intonation Bloom, Suddenly very polite but firm, Full Cabaret Band enters] I've no more fox to give My fox have runneth dry I've tried to go fox shopping But there's no fox left to buy I've no more fox to give Though more fox I've tried to get I'm over my fox budget and I am now in fark-ing debt [Verse 2: Overemphasized Consonants, Plinky Banjo addition] The world is up in arms today, the news is awfully grim My cousin wants a badger, well to hell with bloody him I'd offer my condolences, I'd feign a little grace But the woodland here is empty, it's a barren, desolate place [Chorus 2: Loud, Vaudeville Ensemble, Joyful] I've no more fox to give My fox trap has just blown I've been hunting for my fox all day But they've upped and trotted home I've no more fox to give My fox rations are depleted [Bridge: Deadpan Sync Layer, Half-time, Minor chord shift, Tube Mic Emulation] I checked the cupboards, checked the safe I dug a hole in the estate I asked the zookeeper for a loan But not a single tail was shown [Chorus 3: Accelerando, Big Brass Finish, Imperfect Take Feel] I've no more fox to give My fox have run away My fox are so far gone now They refused to simply stay I've no more fox to give My fox have gone insane They came back round and passed me While they're focking off again [Chorus 4: Modulation, Maximum Energy, Full Band Outburst] I've no more fox to give My fox have all evolved I planned a woodland project But my fox won't be involved I've no more fox to give My fox have all been sent They trotted from the building And I don't know where they went [Outro: Abrupt tempo drop, Solo Piano, Intoxicated Voice Sim] No, the cupboard is completely bare And frankly, I don't care [End: Full Cut. Abrupt silence.] [Spoken Word: Dry Vocal Room, Off-Mic Moment] Ahh... what the fox mate .. i sound like a british guy .. i need some wa ah.. a bo- ah of wa- ah please
