Take a Tiger by the Tail - Eddy Arnold

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

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…
