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
