Not a lover or a fighter When it comes to push and shove I'm as peaceful as a dove I'm a tiger in the night When i'm talking of the fight When it comes to trading blows I'm the first one on my toes I'm a leopard in a cage When i'm on the printed page When it comes to blood and gore I'm the first one on the floor I'm a tiger in the night When i'm talking of the fight When it comes to trading blows I'm the first one on my toes Well i'm a man of stern repute When the opposition's mute When i start to lose my grip I'm the first one off the ship I'm a tiger in the night When i'm talking of the fight When it comes to trading blows I'm the first one on my toes I'm a man of stern repute When the opposition's mute When i start to lose my grip I'm the first one off the ship I'm a tiger in the night When i'm talking of the fight When it comes to trading blows I'm the first one on my toes
