A parody of Squire’s 1981 Christmas single ‘Run with the Fox’, the lyrics were written by a user on the now-defunct Yesfans forums (not to be confused with the new site of the same name). Squire went on Rick Wakeman’s radio show on Planet Rock and sang the parody over the instrumental B-side, ‘Return of the Fox’.

Lyricist Inveryes tells the story:

I had listened to Run With The Fox on the way into work in the car and, it being a quiet day, wrote the new lyrics. I posted them on Yesfans, with apologies to Chris of course. I then got a message pop-up from [Squire’s wife] Scotty. I thought I must have upset the big man, but it turned out the message was to phone Chris. For those of you who have met the band in person multiple times this wouldn’t mean much, but to me it was a daunting prospect! It’s Chris Squire ffs! Anyway, I spent ages plucking up the courage to give him a phone.

Turns out he asked if it was OK with me if he used the lyrics to record them for his appearance on Rick’s internet radio show in a few days’ time. I said yes!

He recorded it over the instrumental version of Run With The Fox and I’m told it became a regular Christmas tune in the Squire household.
