Tell all the hunters to lay down their guns
Tell 'em that the tiger needs a little bit of love
Let 'em run the jungle, let 'em roam their land
Then stand back and marvel, what a beautiful cat
'Cause I saw a tiger
Now I understand
Well, I saw a tiger
And the tiger saw man
I can give 'em a home, safe and warm
But the law wants to ban me, can you tell me who's wrong?
Every time they move, every time they breathe
I can feel their power, I can feel their beast
'Cause I saw a tiger
Now I understand
Well, I saw a tiger
And the tiger saw man
Well, I saw a tiger
Now I understand
Oh
I saw a tiger
And the tiger saw man
Time is a-tickin', they'll soon be gone
So you better take a picture, what a sad, sad song
All that Armageddon, such a painful loss
When they kill all the tigers in the holocaust
'Cause I saw a tiger
Now I understand
Well, I saw a tiger
And the tiger saw man
I saw a tiger
And the tiger saw man
Well, I saw a tiger
Now I understand
Well, I saw a tiger
Now I understand
I saw a tiger
And the tiger saw man
I saw a tiger
And the tiger saw man
Ooh, I saw a tiger
Do you understand?
I saw a tiger
And the tiger saw man
