I'm a reader and a writer
|
Not a lover or a fighter
|
When it comes to push and shove
|
I'm as peaceful as a dove
|
|
I'm a tiger in the night
|
When I'm talking of the fight
|
When it comes to trading blows
|
I'm the first one on my toes
|
|
I'm a leopard in a cage
|
When I'm on the printed page
|
When it comes to blood and gore
|
I'm the first one on the floor
|
|
I'm a tiger in the night
|
When I'm talking of the fight
|
When it comes to trading blows
|
I'm the first one on my toes
|
|
Well I'm a man of stern repute
|
When the opposition's mute
|
When I start to lose my grip
|
I'm the first one off the ship
|
|
I'm a tiger in the night
|
When I'm talking of the fight
|
When it comes to trading blows
|
I'm the first one on my toes
|
|
I'm a man of stern repute
|
When the opposition's mute
|
When I start to lose my grip
|
I'm the first one off the ship
|
|
I'm a tiger in the night
|
When I'm talking of the fight
|
When it comes to trading blows
|
I'm the first one on my toes
|
