Verse 1} There is a jackal, among your herd Teaching your children to speak evil words Now they will whisper, flock like the birds There is a jackal, a jackal in your herd Set your dogs up it! {Verse 2} There is a jackal fooling your tribes Long have your prophets filled their mouths with bribes Hiding your king’s greed – oh, it’s absurd There is a jackal, a jackal in your herd Set your dogs up it! {Bridge} Fallen from a steeple, he walks full of pride
…deceiver of the people. Many times we’ve cried: “Save us from this plague!” “Save us from ourselves!” {Gibberish} Shoop – beedip – beepbee – oh – ow! {Verse 3} There is a jackal, out of his den Selling your daughters to be slaves of men Pest of our own crop, will we be cured? There is a jackal, a jackal in your herd – eh? … a jackal in your herd – eh? … oh yeah… Set your dogs up it!
