- Verse:
- Long a -go 'way down in
the jun -gle, Some -one got an in -spi -ra -tion for a tune,
- And that jin -gle brought
from the jun -gle Be -came fa -mous might -y soon.
- Thrills and chills it sends
thru you!
- Hot! so hot, it burns you
too!
- Tho' it's just the growl
of the ti -ger It was writ -ten in a syn -co -pa -ted way,
- More and more they howl
for the "Ti -ger" Ev -'ry -where you go to -day They're
shout -in'
-
- Chorus:
- Where's that Ti -ger! Where's
that Ti -ger!
- Where's that Ti -ger! Where's
that Ti -ger!
- Hold that Ti -ger! Hold
that Ti -ger!
- Hold that Ti -ger! Choke
him, poke him, kick him and soak him!
- Where's that Ti -ger? Where's
that Ti -ger?
- Where, oh where can he be?
- Low or High -brow, They
all cry now:
- "Please play that Ti
-ger Rag for me."
-
- Interlude:
- Lay right on that jun -gle
ser -e -nade.
- There's no great -er mel
-o -dy played.
- Shoot those low notes, Fast
and slow notes,
- 'Til that Ti -ger has been
slayed!
- Whip it hard 'til it moans,
Whip it hard 'til it growns,
- Let 'er rip start to clip
it's claws.
- Lead -er man on your feet,
Lead -er man start to beat
- That old Ti -ger If you
want ap -plause. Oh!
-
- Final Chorus:
- Where's that Ti -ger? Where's
that Ti -ger?
- Where, oh where can he be?
- Low or High -brow, They
all cry now:
- "Please play that Ti
-ger Rag for me."
