TIGER IN THE RAIN

MOST OF THE TIME
HE'S THE LORD OF THE JUNGLE
EVERYONE GRINS WHILE HE GRIPES
USUALLY HE'S FOUND
JUST LOUNGING AROUND
IN HIS STRIPES

HIS TIGER LADY'S
A SUPERFINE FEMALE
JUST WHAT HIS HIGHNESS DESERVES
A SWEET
PURRING PUSSYCAT
PROUD OF HER PUSSYCAT CURVES

HE'S A TIGER IN THE RAIN
IT'S THE THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
HE CAN'T EXPLAIN
HE'S A TIGER IN THE RAIN
-WHO'S FRIGHTENED...

CAUGHT IN THE STORM
HE CAME SEARCHING FOR SHELTER
RIGHT UP TO ME AND MY SPOUSE
BOTH STROKED HIS CHIN
AND INVITED HIM INTO THE HOUSE

HE'S A TIGER IN THE RAIN
IT'S THE THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
HE CAN'T EXPLAIN
HE'S A TIGER IN THE RAIN
WHO'S FRIGHTENED

HE'S A TIGER IN THE RAIN
IT'S THE THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
HE CAN'T EXPLAIN
HE'S A TIGER IN THE RAIN
WHO'S FRIGHTENED....

Michael Franks

This song recalls long, misty days above the Cliff House, lounging around Sutro Park, gazing over the sea, feeling like King of the World.....
