“Fee Fi Fo” is a 1999 alternative rock song by Irish alternative band The Cranberries, which appeared on their 1999 album “Bury The Hatchet.” The lyrics tell a story about the band lead singer Dolores O’Riordan struggles back to when she’s been sexually abused as a child and anorexia as an adult
[Verse 1]
Fee fi fo, she smells his body
She smells his body
And it makes her sick to her mind
He has got so much to answer for
To answer for
To ruin a child's mind
[Pre-Chorus]
How could you touch something
So innocent and pure
Obscure?
How could you get satisfaction
From the body of a child?
You're vile, you're...
[Chorus]
It's true what people say
God protect the ones who help themselves
In their own way
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
It's true what people say
God protect the ones who help themselves
In their own way
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
[Bridge]
Ee-ee-ee-ee-ye-a, ee-ee-ee-ee-ye-a
Ee-ee-ee-ee-ye-a, ee-ee-ee yea
[Verse 2]
He was sitting in her bedroom
In her bedroom
And now what should she do?
She's got so much insecurity
And his impurity
It was a gathering gloom
[Pre-Chorus]
How could you touch something
So innocent and pure
Obscure?
How could you get satisfaction
From the body of a child?
You're vile, sick
[Chorus]
It's true what people say
God protect the ones who help themselves
In their own way
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
I often wonder to myself
Who'll protect the ones
Who can't protect themselves?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
[Chorus]
It's true what people say
God protect the ones who help themselves
In their own way
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
I often wonder to myself
Who'll protect the ones
Who can't protect themselves?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
[Outro]
Ee-ee-ee-ee-ye-a, ee-ee-ee-ee-ye-a
Ee-ee-ee-ee-ye-a, ee-ee-ee-ee-yea
(Fee Fi Fo)
Ee-ee-ee-ee-ye-a (Fee Fi Fo)
Ee-ee-ee-ee-ye-a, ee-ee-ee-ee-ye-a, ee-ee-ee
Ee-ee-ee-ee-ye-a (Fee Fi Fo)
Ee-ee-ee-ee-ye-a (Fee Fi Fo)
Ee-ee-ee-ee-ye-a, ee-ee-ee
Ee-ee-ee-ee-ye-a, ee-ee-ee-ee-ye-a
Ee-ee-ee-ee-ye-a, ee-ee-ee

Dolores during an interview for Hot Press (1999):
It’s the worst crime. I think they should be castrated. I just think that people who sexually abuse children get off too easy. They get back out after a couple of weeks because, ‘Oh, he’s psychologically ill’. Which I can understand, but then people...
