lyrics

Tiger On My Couch
(c) 2000 Old Sod Shanty Music, BMI
Words & Music by James R. Krause

CHORUS:
C C7
Don't come to my house, boys.
F F#m7b5 C, C7
There's a tiger on my couch.
F F#m7b5 C A7
She's lean and mean, and her eyes are green
D9 G7
And sometimes she's a grouch.
C C7
She's got big sharp teeth, and long sharp claws.
F E7
Ev'ry word is true, I'll vouch.
F, F#7B5 C A7
So don't come to my house boys,
D9 G7 C C, G7, C
There's a tiger on my couch. (Jimmie Rodgers yodel)

C G7 C C7
1. She smokes them Camel un-filtered cigarettes,
F F#m7b5 C, C7
I heard her cough one night.
F Fm7b5 C A7
And what's left of that robber she caught?
D9 G7
I'm sure he died of fright.
C G7 C C7
There was nothing left but a ball of fur
F Fm7b5 C C7
'Bout the size of a large man's thumb.
F Fm7b5 C A7
I hope the ol' boy said his prayers
D9 G7 C
Before he saw Kingdom Come. (chorus)

2. To us, she's known as "Fluffy."
But that's a thin disguise.
She's a cold-blooded, murderin' cat
You can see it in her eyes.
And many a cricket met its doom
Before our terror stricken faces.
Coerced we were, my wife and I
To watch three-legged races. (chorus)

3. Now many years have come and gone
Since that tiger came to stay.
She hasn't slowed one little bit,
Keeping undesirables away.
And visitors think twice before
Petting that green-eyed grouch.
So don't come to my house, boys.
There's a TIGER ON MY COURCH. (chorus)
