Tiger by the Tale

I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see

And I won't be much when you get through with me

I'm losin' weight and turnin' mighty pale

And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail



I thought the day I met you, you were meek as a lamb

Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans

But now the pace we're livin' takes the wind from my sails

And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail



I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see

And I won't be much when you get through with me

I'm losin' weight and turnin' mighty pale

It looks like I've got a tiger by the tail



Well, every night you drag me where the bright lights are found

There ain't no way to slow you down

I'm about as helpless as a leaf in a gale

And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail



I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see

And I won't be much when you get through with me

I'm losin' weight and turnin' mighty pale

And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

It looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
