I take the tiger by the tail take the bull by the horns
|
Look the bear right square in the eye
|
But when it comes to a girl like you I'll get kinda shy
|
I'm just as strong as the knock just as smart as the fox
|
Not a mill that I haven't been through
|
But when you're standin' close to me I don't know what to do
|
|
It's kinda silly I must admit to let you scare me right out of my wits
|
But when your eyes look into mine well all I can see it's a danger sign
|
I take the tiger by the tail take the bull by the horns
|
Look the bear right square in the eye
|
And one of these days just wait and see a wild cat I will be
|
I'll pick up and carry you off and take you home with me
|
[ guitar ]
|
I shake a rattle on sneak eat a crocodile cake
|
Lock an elephant's trunk up tight
|
But when it's time to hold your hand I'm a sorry sight
|
|
It's kinda silly I must admit...
