Hunting Tigers Out in ’Indiah’ Songtext
von The Bonzo Dog Band

Damerell-Evans-Hargreaves


With big, hungry tigers, table manners have no place.
(deardeardear, no, deardeardear, no, deardear, ohdear, no.)
After they have eaten you, they never say their grace.
(deardeardear, no, deardeardear, no, deardear, ohdear, no.)
Hunting tigers can be ripping fun.
Like three blind mice, see the hunters run.
Hunting tigers out in ′INDIAH.'
Out in, out in, out in ′INDIAH.' (Yah!)
You all know how beastly tigers are
Out in, out in, out in 'Indiah.′
They bite. They scratch.
They make an awful fuss.
It′s no use stroking them and saying, 'puss puss puss,′
Oh, Hunting tigers out in 'INDIAH.′
Out in, out in, out in 'INDIAH.′ (Yah.)
[interlude]
They bite. They scratch.
They make an awful fuss.
It's no use stroking them and saying, 'puss puss puss,′
Oh, Hunting tigers out in ′INDIAH.'
Out in, out in, out in ′INDIAH.' (Yah!)
I say, Jer, it′s jolly frightening out here...
Nonsense, dear boy, you should be like me!
But look at you, you're shaking all over!
Shaking, you silly goose, I′m just doing the Watusi, that's all...
Tigers don't go out on rainy nights.
They′ve no need to whet their appetites.
Hunting tigers out in ′INDIAH.'
Out in, out in, out in ′INDIAH.' (YAH.)
How many tigers can you find with forks and serviettes?
(deardeardear, no, deardeardear, no, deardear, ohdear, no.)
Don′t care in what part of you they fix their fretwork sets.
(deardeardear, no, deardeardear, no, deardear, ohdear, no.)
Hunting tigers can be ripping fun.
Like three blind mice, see the hunters run!
Hunting tigers out in 'INDIAH.′
Out in, out in, out in 'INDIAH.' (Ja!)
Hunting tigers out in ′INDIAH.′
Out in, out in, out in 'INDIAH.′ YAH!
