tiggeroo
verse i
tiggeroo was born a healthy cub
full of life and love
and the colors of his fur
made him so beautiful
and valuable as an attraction
but a small one, becomes a big one
even in play his claws might draw blood
so they took away his dignity and livelihood
chorus
so pleasant dreams sweet tiggeroo
and remember that it was not your fault
for what those stupid humans did to you
you faced the pain, as you lived it on
verse ii
tiggeroo had a surgery, it was a botchery
and left him kneeling in pain
from an infection
and before long his legs had locked up
he couldn't stand up
verse iii
so finally one day they took him off to a
better place to live out his days
pushing knees forth on a soft floor
not full of splinters like
all the ones before
bridge
i don't know how you made it through
i don't know how, but i picture myself as you
i awake so early now
and wipe the sweat from my brow
catapulted into the glare
of the outside world
outro
so take me, go on and break me
you never could hide your cruel intentions
you ask me when my whipping shall begin
so let's get it over with right now
