I hear an animal growling,
I look and who do I see,
A tiger with his long black stripes,
He's growling straight at me, oh yes,
He's growling straight at me.
I know Mr. Growling Tiger,
You're a strong cat in the zoo,
if I were to meet you face to face,
I'd sure be scared of you, I would,
I'd sure be scared of you.
Oh grrr, grrr growling tiger,
Making so much noise,
I bet you're trying very hard
To scare the girls and boys.
I know Mr. Growling Tiger,
You're a strong cat in the zoo.
But since I'm not in your
great big cage,
I'm not afraid of you, no way,
I'm not afraid of you.
So go on with your growling,
Keep up your noisy fuss,
It's not a scary bother,
It's really fine with us.
Oh grrr, grrr growling tiger,
Making all that noise.
It doesn't scare me, not at all,
Or any other girls or boys.
