Who is me? Me is a thief

You'll bring your poor,

Af-ter the fox, af-ter the fox

Verse 2:

Where is the gold? it's on the truck
Where's the truck? I won't tell
You must tell then I will lie
You'll make your poor, poor sister cry 
ha ha ha..., so

[repeat chorus]

Why do you steal? so I'll be rich
Why not work? work is hard
You'll be caught I never fail
All little crooks wind up in jail
not me, not me, so

[repeat chorus ]
