Tokyo foxes make the city work for them
They got the social graces when they need to impress
Kitsune-chan, you’re a devilish handsome man
Who’s the lucky lady in the little red dress?
Tokyo foxes know how to live
Take a sizeable share of what the city can give
Traders and tricksters, you don’t give a damn -
Hajemimashita, Kitsune-chan!
Tokyo foxes deal a little real estate
They’ve got the system sussed now, but they still like to play;
Kitsune-chan, money does what money can
And buys a little leisure at the end of the day
Tokyo foxes know how to live
Take a sizeable share of what the city can give
Traders and tricksters, you don’t give a damn -
Hajemimashita, Kitsune-chan!
I saw those Tokyo foxes on the underground - looked
For all the world like they owned it - hell, maybe they do!
Kitsune-chan, who’s the mask behind the man?
Where’s the party this time, and can I come with you?
Tokyo foxes know both sides of the game
Running the city sure beats running in the rain
If they can’t keep their secrets nobody can
Hajemimashita, Kitsune-chan!
