Lyrics:

Nice fox don't tempt the old owl in the tree

(And it don't mean nothin' at all)

Stay out of the the busy streets

(And it don't mean nothin' at all)

Nice fox don't dance on the oyster shells

(And it don't mean nothin' at all)

Don't tease the neighbor's dog

(And it don't mean nothin' at all)

Don't dig up the dandelions

(And it don't mean nothin' at all)

Don't scratch up my old screen door

(And it don't mean nothin' at all)

Don't make the old rock barn your home

(And it don't mean nothin' at all)

You know it's rottin' away on itself

(And it don't mean nothin' at all)

I found you dead under there all alone

(And it don't mean nothin' at all)

So I wrote "nice fox" on a wooden cross

(And it don't mean nothin' at all)

"Nice fox" on a wooden cross

(And it don't mean nothin' at all)

Nice fox

(And it don't mean nothin' at all)

Nice fox

(And it don't mean nothin' at all...)

I really doesn't mean a damn thing. But we give it the meaning. We make the burden and then we carry it. Because we care.

Still my favorite sad but truest song. It don't mean nothing at all. Although nice fox, you must have meant something.

It's so wonderful. Touching the very chord of death. I wished I could talk of a nice fox I once knew.

Actually, it was an actual fox, not a dog,and one of them had found it dead . And even though they might not have had the same religion, the guy wrote "Nice Fox" on a wooden cross for it. He'd always watched the fox. The story came with the album.

This song is particularly touching because The Rosebuds wrote this song about the small dog they had who died. His name was 'Fox'. If you listen to the lyrics carefully, you will see that he is singing about a dog. What's more, there is a video floating around somewhere on the Internet that is the original footage of them together, in a canoe or something; you get to see their calm closeness and companionship. It makes you realize what an animal can mean to a person. :'( Lovely song.
