A highly existential song, one that’s about absolutely nothing, a fox, but somehow, about everything because it “don’t mean nothing at all”.
Nice fox don't tempt the old owl in the tree
(And it don't mean nothin' at all)
Stay out of the the busy streets
(And it don't mean nothin' at all)
Nice fox don't dance on the oyster shells
(And it don't mean nothin' at all)
Don't tease the neighbor's dog
(And it don't mean nothin' at all)
Don't dig up the dandelions
(And it don't mean nothin' at all)
Don't scratch up my old screen door
(And it don't mean nothin' at all)
Don't make the old rotten barn your home
(And it don't mean nothin' at all)
You know it's rottin' away on itself
(And it don't mean nothin' at all)
I found you dead under there all alone
(And it don't mean nothin' at all)
So I wrote "nice fox" on a wooden cross
(And it don't mean nothin' at all)
"Nice fox" on a wooden cross
(And it don't mean nothin' at all)
Nice fox
(And it don't mean nothin' at all)
Nice fox
(And it don't mean nothin' at all...)
