Setting Fire to the Tail of a Fox

Long John Baldry, Jimmy Horowitz

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Hook]
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

[Chorus]
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
