about

Me, I was raised as a California Pacifist - I hated G.I. Joe and I wasn't allowed to have toy guns as a child (except one Halloween when I went as a cowboy and they were confiscated the next day).

No, I preferred to lie in a bubble bath and make up long, convoluted cowboy ballads. Like this one.

But then I served in the IDF and I realized that, yes, sometimes you have to carry a gun. And use it if necessary.

Well, this song has nothing to do with any of that. It's actually about these snakes I had to kill in the chickenhouse in Kibbutz Tzora because they were killing the chickens.

Actually I used a hoe and they were snakes, not a fox, but that's artistic license for you. 😽🌹🎵

The point is, I killed them.

lyrics

There's a fox in the chickenhouse
Run Papa run
There's a fox in the chickenhouse
Papa get your gun
There's a fox in the chickenhouse
Run Papa run
Better shoot that damn fox before he gets your last one

First little girl was a lovely young thing
Said all her prayers and Lord she could sing
First little girl was a lovely young thing
Now there's a fox in the chickenhouse and he's got her by the wing

There's a fox in the chickenhouse...

Second little girl was as precious as a child
Kind as an angel she was gentle and mild
Second little girl was as precious as a child
Now that nasty old fox 'bout to drive her stone wild

There's a fox in the chickenhouse...

Third little girl she was innocent and sweet
Cuddly as a baby she was soft and petite
Third little girl she was innocent and sweet
Now there's fox in the chickenhouse and he's hungry for meat

There's a fox in the chickenhouse...

Now look at Papa feeling guilty as sin
His three little girls never be the same again
Now look at Papa feeling guilty as sin
If he'd taught his girls right they'd never let that fox in

There's a fox in the chickenhouse...
