Black Oak Arkansas - Sly Fox lyrics
Old Raven had a lunch of cheese.
 And sly fox did smell it in the breeze
 The fox looked up and sweetly spoke
 O Raven, on your perch of oak.
 Your coat is black and your beak is yellow
 If only now your voice were mellow
 Yes if only your voice were mellow
 You'd be the fairest. Be the fairest
 Be the fairest, in the woods.
 Ole raven overjoyed by praise
 And sure he'd earned it in all ways
 Breathed in deep and let a croakBlack Oak Arkansas - Sly Fox - http://motolyrics.com/black-oak-arkansas/sly-fox-lyrics.html
 And dropped the luncheon from the oak
 Snatchin' of this tasty prize
 Sly ole' fox was very wise
 To fall for flattery
 Good bird
 You know it's vanity it's vanity
 It's vanity
 It must have hurt
 Which lessened if you please
 Undoubtably as with the cheese
 A bit too late the raven swore
 The road would never cheat him no more
