Nicholas John - The Tiger Song Lyrics

Wake up in the morning 'bout half past six
Knocking at the door you gonna let me in
I'm Tiger I'm Tiger I'm hungry you're tired
Crush a little pill with the fancy feast
Mix it with the water give me something to eat
I'm Tiger I'm Tiger I've got a hyperthyroid
Well the doctor says I got crystals in my urine
I don't think that's much of her concern
'Bout as damn healthy as a cat can be
I like to eat just as much as I like to sleep
And I know one day I'll lay me down

I'm climbing on the counter what you think about that
Waiting by the cupboard gonna catch me a rat
I'm Tiger I'm Tiger I'm a hunter not a fighter
Now I'm pawing at the door you better let me out
Waiting by the window gonna catch me a mouse
I'm Tiger I'm Tiger half wild half insider

I like to go outside and pee in the garden
If you squeeze my tummy you can hear me fart
'Bout as damn healthy as a cat can get
I know the whole neighborhood like the back of my hand
And I know one day I'll lay me down

Now my teeth are falling out and they smell real bad
You can never find me when it's time for a bath
I'm Tiger I'm Tiger I'm a talker not a biter
Splish splish splash goes the water in the sink
Soap on my nose gotta wash out the stink
I'm Tiger I'm Tiger I'm getting older but not wiser

I sleep in a box on the radiator
If you scratch my ears you can hear me purr
'Bout as damn healthy any cat you'll find
Ignore the smell just pay it no mind
I know one day I'll lay me down

I wanna die in a tuna fish can
Nobody knows how old I am
I'm Tiger I'm Tiger you only fed me once I ain't a liar
And I imagine heaven as a vacant lot
I've been a pretty good cat I hope they save me a spot
I'm Tiger I'm Tiger don't wanna burn in eternal fire

But when I die know Max'll turn me
To a mount on the wall with taxidermy
Damn healthy cat but I'll die one day
With no regrets cuz I did it my way
And I know one day I'll lay me down
And then you'll have no cat around
