Fabian - Tiger lyrics

rate me

Written by Ollie Jones

Peaked at # 3 in 1959

Fabian Forte's all-time biggest hit, which ain't sayin' much 'cause he

only had 8 in the Top 40!

Hey. lumpa sugar, you look kinda sweet

Cuter than a baby walkin' down the street

When I look into your eyes, I wanna leap

I can't conceal that you make me feel

Like a tiger, ooh, ooh, ooh, like a tiger

Ooh, ooh, ooh, just to see you smile nearly drives me wild

I wanna growl wow!

I'm feelin' stronger than a grizzly bear

Soarin' like an eagle flyin' through the air

When I get you in my arms, you'd better beware

I go insane 'cause I can't be tamed

Like a tiger, ooh, ooh, ooh, like a tiger

Ooh, ooh, ooh, just to see you smile nearly drives me wild

I wanna growl wow!

BRIDGE:

You keep my heart jumpin' like a kangaroo

Floatin' like an onion in a bowl of stew

Baby, ev'ry time you come in view

I run like an antelope to get to you

I'm your tiger and you're my mate

Hurry up, buttercup, and don't be late

I might get mad if I have to wait

Come right now 'cause I'm on the prowl

Like a tiger, ooh, ooh, ooh, like a tiger

Ooh, ooh, ooh, just to see you smile nearly drives me wild

I wanna growl wow!

BRIDGE:

You keep my heart jumpin' like a kangaroo

Floatin' like an onion in a bowl of stew

Baby, ev'ry time you come in view

I run like an antelope to get to you

I'm your tiger and you're my mate

Hurry up, buttercup, and don't be late

I might get mad if I have to wait

Come right now 'cause I'm on the prowl

Like a tiger, ooh, ooh, ooh, like a tiger

Ooh, ooh, ooh, just to see you smile nearly drives me wild

I wanna growl wow!
