Not a lover or a fighter

When it comes to push and shove

I'm as peaceful as a dove



I'm a tiger in the night

When i'm talking of the fight

When it comes to trading blows

I'm the first one on my toes



I'm a leopard in a cage

When i'm on the printed page

When it comes to blood and gore

I'm the first one on the floor



I'm a tiger in the night

When i'm talking of the fight

When it comes to trading blows

I'm the first one on my toes



Well i'm a man of stern repute

When the opposition's mute

When i start to lose my grip

I'm the first one off the ship



I'm a tiger in the night

When i'm talking of the fight

When it comes to trading blows

I'm the first one on my toes



I'm a man of stern repute

When the opposition's mute

When i start to lose my grip

I'm the first one off the ship



I'm a tiger in the night

When i'm talking of the fight

When it comes to trading blows

I'm the first one on my toes
