She Shot The Tiger

By midnights voice

She Shot The Tiger



She shot the Tiger !
You know the one that wears the yellow eyes

She shot the Tiger . . .
The one that's been hiding behind the smirks and smiles

It's okay , he'll be living in a poem
he wrote today

It's not that good , but . . .
He's hoping it will trend anyway

Hey ! Hey ! Hey !

She caught the Tiger . . .
Using all the black and white stripes as his disguise

She caught the Tiger . . .
Thinking he could blend right on in and hide

(What a Mistake !)

So she shot the Tiger . . .
Really blood is just paper thin

She shot the Tiger . . .

You know it's not so funny now
When the hammer comes down on the rim

And you were willing to let it go . . .
On and on

No ! No ! No ! Oh No !

She shot the Tiger . . .
And now he's bleeding and the thought just occurred

That he might DIE !

She shot the Tiger . . .
You know the one that wears the yellow eyes

    I'd wondered where he went; he used to be such a good golfer too before he hurt his back :) "The female of the species, is deadlier than the male" - Kipling. Cheers MV and it was Claptonesque too - Dan
