Me and the fox,
we're a lot alike,
travel best alone,
travel best at night.

Got an overcoat,
got a book of matches,
got three pairs of socks;
no one's gonna catch me.

Creep up to the building,
watch out for the light,
sneak up to the window,
make love to the night.

That's the way I like it best,
shadows on the ceiling.

Me and the fox,
sleep on the ground,
never close my eyes,
I hear every sound.

Got a bag of dust,
got a sack of charms,
don't mean to hurt no one,
don't mean no harm.

Creep up to the building,
watch out for the light,
sneak up to the window,
make love to the night.

That's the way I like it best,
shadows on the ceiling.

Don't mean to make you uneasy,
you won't even see me.

Me and the fox,
we're a lot alike,
travel best alone,
travel best at night.

Me and the fox,
we're next of kin,
well, he don't like me,
and I can't stand him.

Creep up to the building,
watch out for the light,
sneak up to the window,
make love to the night.

That's the way I like it best,
shadows on the ceiling.

Don't mean to make you uneasy,
you won't even see me.
