Fairies Wear Boots
Black Sabbath · Paranoid [2009]
Goin' home late last night
Suddenly I got a fright
Yeah, I looked through a window and suprise what I saw:
A fairy with boots was dancin' with a dwarf
All right now!
Yeah, Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
Yeah, I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no lies
Yeah, fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes
Ohh, right now!
Yeah, Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
Yeah, I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no lies
Yeah, Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes
Allright now!
So I went to the doctor to see what he would give me
He said, "Son, son, you've gone too far,
'cause smokin' and trippin' is all that you do."
Yeahhhhhh!

Fairies Wear Boots
Released on the 1980 reissue of Paranoid, 'Fairies Wear Boots' stands as a quintessential example of Black Sabbath's heavy, doom-infused sound. The track features Ozzy Osbourne's distinctive vocal delivery over a crushing rhythm section, embodying the band's signature blend of blues-based riffs and dark atmosphere. While the song has long been associated with the original 1970 release, its inclusion on the 2009 remaster highlights its enduring status within the band's discography. The recording captures the raw energy and theatricality that defined Sabbath's approach to heavy metal during their most influential period, cementing the song's place in the canon of classic rock anthems.
