I would like to buy a tiger
If I knew he would be tame
I would like to buy a tiger
Call him by his tiger name

I would show him to my brother
I would smile and I would say
"Now I won't call our mother
If you pick on me today!"

I will call my trusty tiger
Call him by his tiger name
He's the sweetest Bengal tiger
So it would be such a shame

If he grabbed you by the collar
And he tossed you in the air
Just as you began to holler
Swallowed you right then, right there

I would like (I would like) to buy a tiger
If I knew (If I knew) he would bе tame (He would be tamе)
I would like (I would like) to buy a tiger
And call him by (Call him by) his tiger name (Tiger name)
