Quit beatin?your chest and actin?like you’re gonna bite a big hole out of me | |
Quit messin?and testin?cuz this ain’t at all impressin?to me | |
Paper tiger, paper tiger, you paper tigers are all alike | |
Your roar is much worse than your bite. | |
Quit spyin?and sighin?and lyin?and tryin?to be so mean | |
Cuz you ain’t scarin?nobody, baby, you’re just makin?a scene | |
Paper tiger, paper tiger, you’re just a’flutterin?in the tree | |
Ain’t shakin?no one but the leaves | |
Oh how you try to be so brave | |
Thinkin?that I’ll run back to ya and be afraid | |
And so you try to come on strong | |
Thinkin?that I will go along, but you’re wrong | |
Paper tiger, paper tiger, you paper tigers are all alike | |
Your roar is much worse than your bite. | |
Your roar is much worse than your bite. | |
SPOKEN FADE: C’mere, kitty. Here, kitty, kitty, kitty ah ha ha ha ha | |
