Eddy Arnold - Take a Tiger By the Tail lyrics

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 standin' 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 ( guitar ) 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 It's kinda silly I must admit...
