Paper Tiger — текст песни (Thompson Sue)

(peak Billboard position # 23 in 1965)
Words and Music by John D Loudermilk
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
