PAPER TIGER
(John D. Loudermilk)

Quit beatin' your chest and actin' like you're gonna bite a big hole out of me
Quit messin' and testin' cause this ain't at all impressin' to me
Paper tiger paper tiger you paper tigers are all alike
Your roar is much worse than your bite

Quit spyin' and sighin' and lyin' and tryin' to be so mean
Cause you ain't scarin' nobody baby you’re just makin' a scene
Paper tiger paper tiger you’re just a flutterin' in the trees
Ain't shaking no one but the leaves

Oh how you try to be so brave
Thinking that I'll run back to you and be afraid
And so you try to come on strong
Thinking that I will go along but you’re wrong
Paper tiger paper tiger you paper tigers are all alike
Your roar is much worse than your bite
Your roar is much worse than your bite
(Come here kitty here kitty kitty kitty ah ha ha)
