Tiger, o tiger
you are a fierce fighter.
Your roar, your stripes
they are one in a million types.
You scratch, you pounce
your attacks makes our hearts bounce.
But there is still a mystery
Why some want to make you history.
When your skin is on you, it's flame
and on some walls, it is a shame.
Taking away your teeth and skin is theft,
is this the cause for only thousand left?
People, want to shoot a tiger,
take the camera, forget the trigger
because the pride of our nation
may not get another incarnation.
