Its not just grapes
and fruit in wine
in China
Rheumatism seems to get
some down
they go and buy a bottle
of real tiger wine
these factory farms
produce it out of town
its made out of the bones
and even unborn souls
all pickled in this
alcoholic brew
supposedly for tired old sods
who drink this stuff
and come out fighting
like a Tiger too’
drink a glass or two
before you go to bed
wake up like a Tiger
thats what they are led
to believe of course
they’re crazy
and the tigers think that’s too
China’s living in its past
its seems to me and you
we hear that Government officers
like Tiger meat and think
its tasty and it really
drives them to the brink
makes them roar
and makes them strong
don’t they understand
all this tiger nonsense
is getting out of hand
