Lyrics

Get the day started
Oh I’ve got things to do
But first I’d better find
A pair of socks and shoes

But you always get
More than you bargained for
When I found the socks
They were lying on the floor

I’ve got a fox in a cardboard box
Lying on top of the socks
Where can I walk
With a fox in a cardboard box

So I made a video
For my friends to see
What would you do with this
If you were me

They said put some
Music with that video
Someone out there will know
Where you can go

I’ve got a fox in a cardboard box
Lying on top of the socks
Where can I walk
With a fox in a cardboard box

Comments said
Your video’s all wrong
What were you thinking
With that T. Rex song

So I wrote a new song
And all my friends say it rocks
It’s all about the fox and the socks
And the cardboard box

I’ve got a fox in a cardboard box
Lying on top of the socks
Where can I walk
With a fox in a cardboard box

Pretty soon I learned what foxes eat
But I’m still standing here in my bare feet

I’ve got a fox in a cardboard box
Lying on top of the socks
Where can I walk
With a fox in a cardboard box

Everybody sing
Fox in a cardboard box
Lying on top of the socks
Where can I walk
With a fox in a cardboard box

Love the title with that rhyme. Sounds good, and the music works well with your humorous lyric. As a kindergarten teacher, I was visualizing this is a kids song with a cool video to accompany it.

Fun song and take on the skirmish. Cool story and delivery :)

Jolly funny song. I kept thinking that 'fox in a cardboard box' was a metaphor for something. You tell a good story in your lyrics and make the most of those rhymes. Nice write.
