Most of the time He's the lord of the jungle Everyone grins while he gripes Usually he's found just Lounging around in his stripes
His tiger lady's A superfine feline Just what his highness deserves A sweet purring pussycat Proud of her pussycat curves
He's a tiger in the rain It's the thunder and lightnin' He can't explain A tiger in the rain Who's frightened
Caught in the storm he came Searching for shelter Right up to me and my spouse We both stroked his chin and Invited him into the house
He's a tiger in the rain It's the thunder and lightnin' He can't explain A tiger in the rain Who's frightened
He's a tiger in the rain It's the thunder and lightnin' He can't explain A tiger in the rain Who's frightened*
