BLACK SABBATH ”FAIRIES WEAR BOOTS”

54+ years later and it’s still amazing! There are two camps of what the song is about. One claim it's when an incident occurred where Geezer and Ozzy were smoking cannabis and saw fairies in boots running around a park, but the most known story around the song was that the band got attacked by skinheads (the skinheads being the fairies in the song).

The track can be found on the album ”Paranoid” from 1970

LYRICS

Goin' home, late last night
Suddenly, I got a fright
Yeah, I looked through a window
And surprised what I saw
Fairy with boots and dancin' with a dwarf
Alright, 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
Alright, now
Alright, now
  
So, I went to the doctor, see what he could give me
He said, “Son, son, you’ve gone too far 'cause smokin’ 
and trippin' is all that you do”... Yeah!
