Used to play this one with my band when I was high school aged, back in the 80's. Almost nobody knew the song, and thought it was an original.

We had to learn it from the live Ozzy album because we couldn't find it on LP anywhere. And then the singer just mumbled the lyrics because we had NO IDEA what Ozzy was saying. Lyrics weren't printed in the Sabbath album, nor the Ozzy album, and there was no Internet, so... just mumble and then "YEAAAAAH!"

It wasn't until, maybe 20 years later, we finally saw what the REAL words were... and we were glad we didn't know them back then.

I'm still not sure what the hell he sings in the second verse about the unicorn.

I'm not convinced by any of the lyrics I've seen online.

Geezer Butler did have an ... interesting way of writing lyrics!
