Tiger, Tiger

Today, you are unlucky
and that's the way to be
You know, at best,
it's just a test of your tenacity
Answer with a mumble
That's good enough for me
for I am a mumbler too

So imitate the action of the tiger
or imitate the action of the snail

The greatest of the slouchers
whispered in my ear,
"Keep it in your notebooks,
and keep your notebooks near"
"Write that down," he said
"Borrow my pen if you need
for you are a sloucher too"

So imitate the action of the tiger
or imitate the action of the snail
Snap your teeth and smile a little wider
or leave behind a lovely silver trail

So imitate the action of the tiger
or imitate the action of the snail
Snap your teeth and smile a little wider
or leave behind a lovely silver trail
