What Does The Fox Say? – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

"What Does The Fox Say?" is a wildly popular electronic dance novelty song by the Norwegian comedy duo Ylvis. This song is an excellent way to engage with English through its playful lyrics that teach animal sounds and spark curiosity about language itself. Its repetitive and catchy nature makes new vocabulary and phrases easy to remember, while its humorous premise encourages listeners to embrace the fun side of linguistic exploration.

[English]

It's been happening for months now.

I've been seeing it everywhere.

On my dog.

On my mind.

Even on my nuts.

I thought it would stop, but as time went by, it never did.

It just keeps coming and coming.

I can't take it anymore!

Must. End. Now.

Tee hee!

And by "here" I mean not the text. Click the Saltines Challenge video.
