Country Joe McDonald - Tiger By The Tail

Tekst piosenki:

I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see;
I won't be much when you get thru' with me.
Well, I'm a losing weight
and a turnin' mighty pale.
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail.

Well, I thought the day I met you, you were meek as a lamb;
Just the kind to fit my dreams
and plans.
But now, the pace we're livin' takes the wind from my sails
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail.

I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see;
I won't be much when you get thru' with me.
Well,I'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale.
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail.

Well, ev'ry night you drag me where the bright lights are found;
There ain't no way to slow you down
I'm as 'bout as helpless as a leaf in a gale;
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail.

I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see;
I won't be much when you get thru' with me.
Well,I'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale.
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail.
