Take A Tiger By The Tail

(album: That's How Much I Love You - 1959)

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 standing 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
