Tiger Tale: Deception Unveiled in Evening News
Lyrics
Your wife was on the evenin' news
Your wife was featured on the evening news.
Feeding that tiger from a baby bottle
She was feeding a tiger from a baby bottle.
And now you're tryin' to tell me
There's an attempt to deny that the tiger is yours.
He's not yours?
Questioning the claim that the tiger doesn't belong to the speaker.
You scooped him up in the back of your truck
The tiger was picked up in the back of a truck.
Without a scrape without a cut
No injuries occurred during the tiger pickup.
Your locks are loose and your lies are even worse
Accusing the person of loose security and telling lies.
Orange stripes outside my window
Reference to orange stripes, possibly hinting at the tiger's appearance.
Good day to stay inside
Suggesting it's a good day to stay indoors due to the tiger incident.
Dialed animal control
Calling animal control for assistance.
They laughed and hung up the line
Animal control dismissed the call, possibly finding it amusing.
The top of the Texas food chain's higher than it used to be
Commenting on the changing hierarchy in the Texas food chain.
But when you see a tiger with a pacifier, he must belong to somebody!
Asserting that a tiger with a pacifier must belong to someone.
The anchor asked, "who's tiger is that?"
A news anchor inquires about the tiger's owner.
And imagine my surprise
Expressing surprise at the response regarding the tiger.
When you said, "I love him like a favorite pet,
Claiming love for the tiger but stating it belongs to a friend.
But he belongs to a friend of mine"
Contradiction in claiming ownership of the tiger.
Your wife was on the evenin' news
Repetition of the wife's appearance on the evening news.
Feeding that tiger from a baby bottle
Reiteration of the wife feeding the tiger on the news.
And now you're tryin' to tell me
Repeating the denial of ownership of the tiger.
He's not yours?
Reiterating skepticism about the tiger not being theirs.
You scooped him up in the back of your truck
Recalling the incident of picking up the tiger in a truck.
Without a scrape without a cut
Emphasizing the absence of injuries during the tiger pickup.
Your locks are loose and your lies are even worse
Repeating accusations of loose security and dishonesty.
You were yelling, "close that door immediately"
Describing a situation where the speaker demanded a door to be closed.
Acting like a seasoned pro
Portraying the person as experienced and composed.
You grabbed him when he turned to look my way
Seizing the tiger's attention and acting quickly.
And in a second you were on the go
Swiftly leaving the scene with the tiger.
The cops and the sheriff chased but they never stood a chance
Law enforcement pursued but failed to catch up.
The TV station got there first and they knew just the questions to ask
The media arrived first, asking insightful questions.
Your wife explained before that day
The wife clarifies her limited previous interactions with the tiger.
She only met the tiger only once or twice
The wife acknowledges minimal contact with the tiger.
You were just in the perfect time and place
Claiming the right time and place for the tiger pickup.
With your giant white truck with a tiger cage
Describing a truck with a tiger cage as instrumental in the incident.
Don't you think there might've been some dead giveaways
Suggesting potential clues in the situation that went unnoticed.
But who could tattle on a tiger tail! Well!
Humorous reflection on the difficulty of exposing a tiger's identity.
Your wife was on the evenin' news
Repeating the wife's appearance on the news.
Feeding that tiger from a baby bottle
Reiterating the wife's act of feeding the tiger on the news.
And now you're tryin' to tell me
Reaffirming denial of tiger ownership.
He's not yours?
Reemphasizing skepticism about the tiger not being theirs.
You scooped him up in the back of your truck
Recalling the incident of picking up the tiger in a truck.
No scrapes, no cuts
Stressing the lack of injuries during the tiger pickup.
Your locks are loose and your lies are even worse
Repeating accusations of loose security and dishonesty.
