Setting Fire To The Tail Of A Fox - Long John Baldry

Settin' the tail of a fox on fire

Settin' fire to the Philistines cold

I’ll give them all a funereal pyre

They’ll wish they never were born

Settin' fire to a fox

A fox’s tail

Settin' fire to a fox

I’m on their trail

Settin' fire to a fox

I know I can’t fail

Settin' fire to a fox’s tail

The Philistines’ll learn that Sampson’s name

Is one that they should fear

My hair and strength will be my fame

Oh, you know they better keep clear

Settin' fire to a fox

A fox’s tail

Settin' fire to a fox

Ooh, I’m on their trail

Settin' fire to a fox

I know I can’t fail

Settin' fire to a fox’s tail

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

When Dagon’s worshipers hear the news

That flattened field will burn

They’ll know these fiery tails are the fuse

Of the holocaust that they’ve earned

Settin' fire to a fox

I said fox’s tail

Settin' fire to a fox

You I’m on their trail

Settin' fire to a fox

Ha, I know I can’t fail

Settin' fire to a fox’s tail

Ooh-ooh-ooh

By settin' the tail of a fox on fire

I’m burnin' the for Israel

I’m startin' a war, and I never tire

Settin' fire to a fox’s tail

Settin' fire to a fox

A fox’s tail

Settin' fire to a fox

I’m on their trail

Settin' fire to a fox

Oh, I know I can’t fail

Settin' fire to a fox’s tail

Settin' fire to a fox

A fox’s tail

Settin' fire to a fox

You know I’m on their trail

Settin' fire to a fox

I know I can’t fail

Settin' fire to a fox

Oh, I said I’m i’m doin' it for Israel

Settin' fire to a fox

Oh, even though I’ll end up in jail

Settin' fire to a fox

Oh, a fox’s tail
