Lyrics:

Lazy fox, you don't build or sow
You just sit and wait
For spring to come again
You're winter thin
It seems a sin
But you sit and wait
For hapless prey to stray along

Lazy jay, you don't fly away
You just sit and wait
To be struck by a song
Then you'll sing along
Not counting on
The strength of God
But on the weakness of your foe

On mid-winter's morn
The two meet alone
In field and on fence
There's a cold, sideways glance
Then feather and fur
Are all a'blur
Then beak and tale
It's a greedy fox
Who swallows more than he can chew

Lazy fox, you don't move or stir
You'l just lay and wait
For spring to come again
And you'll turn then
Back into earth
Leaving skull and bone
The only sign you ever were
