Bishop Allen - Tiger, Tiger lyrics

Today, you are unlucky And that's the way to be You know, at best It's just a test of your tenacity Answer with a mumble That's good enough for me For I am a mumbler too So imitate the action of the tiger Or imitate the action of the snail The greatest of the slouchers Whispered in my ear "Keep it in your notebooks And keep your notebooks near" "Write that down," he said "Borrow my pen if you need For you are a sloucher too" So imitate the action of the tiger Or imitate the action of the snail Snap your teeth and smile a little wider Or leave behind a lovely silver trail So imitate the action of the tiger Or imitate the action of the snail Snap your teeth and smile a little wider Or leave behind a lovely silver trail
