Sue Thompson Paper Tiger
(peak Billboard position # 23 in 1965) Words and Music by John D Loudermilk Quit beatin' your chest and actin' like you're gonna bite a big hole out of me Quit messin' and testin' cuz this ain't 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 ain't scarin' nobody, baby, you're just makin' a scene Paper tiger, paper tiger, you're just a'flutterin' in the tree Ain't shakin' no one but the leaves Oh how you try to be so brave Thinkin' that I'll run back to ya and be afraid And so you try to come on strong Thinkin' that I will go along, but you're 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: C'mere, kitty. Here, kitty, kitty, kitty ah ha ha ha ha
