Take A Tiger By The Tail Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

I take the tiger by the tail take the bull by the horns 

Look the bear right square in the eye 

But when it comes to a girl like you I'll get kinda shy 

I'm just as strong as the knock just as smart as the fox 

Not a mill that I haven't been through 

But when you're standin' close to me I don't know what to do 

It's kinda silly I must admit to let you scare me right out of my wits 

But when your eyes look into mine well all I can see it's a danger sign 

I take the tiger by the tail take the bull by the horns 

Look the bear right square in the eye 

And one of these days just wait and see a wild cat I will be 

I'll pick up and carry you off and take you home with me 

I shake a rattle on sneak eat a crocodile cake 

Lock an elephant's trunk up tight 

But when it's time to hold your hand I'm a sorry sight 

It's kinda silly I must admit
