take a tiger by the tail

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

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
