Long may you reign

You're an animal

You are bloodthirsty

Out window panes talking utter nonsense

You have no idea.

Strings tied to levers

Slowed-down clocks tethered

All this showmanship

To keep it for you

In sweetness

Way to go, tiger

Higher and higher

Wilder and lighter

For you.

Long may you roar

At your dinosaurs

You're a just ruler

Covered in mud, you look ridiculous

And you have no idea.

Buried down deep and out of your reach

The secret we all vowed

To keep it from you

In sweetness

Way to go, tiger

Higher and higher

Wilder and lighter

For you.

You got the dragonflies above your bed

You have a favorite spot on the swing set

You have no room in your dreams for regrets

You have no idea

The time will arrive for the cruel and the mean

You'll learn to bounce back just like your trampoline

But now we'll curtail your curiosity

In sweetness.

Way to go, tiger

Way to go, tiger

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Wilder and lighter

For you.
