Paper Tiger lyrics

Paper Tiger

 

 Artist: Sue Thompson (peak Billboard position # 23 in 1965)

 Words and Music by John D Loudermilk

 

 Quit beatin?your chest and actin?like youre gonna bite a big hole out of me

 Quit messin?and testin?cuz this aint 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

 Cuz you aint scarin?nobody, baby, youre just makin?a scene

 Paper tiger, paper tiger, youre just aflutterin?in the tree

 Aint shakin?no one but the leaves

 

 Oh how you try to be so brave

 Thinkin?that Ill run back to ya and be afraid

 And so you try to come on strong

 Thinkin?that I will go along, but youre 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.

 

 SPOKEN FADE: Cmere, kitty. Here, kitty, kitty, kitty ah ha ha ha ha
