Lyrics

I shout this, you shout that,  the clouds coming
over are looking awful black -  it's all hot air,
you say go,   I say stay,    clear blue sky goes
Sheffield grey -  it's all hot air.   I've grown
immune to your claws pussycats,  I know
all your threats are tissue tigers      crawling
across the table to me      all your threats are
tissue tigers  ripping 'em up is easy for me now.
I'll shout this, you shout that,      an eye for
heart and a tit for a tat - you easy tear. think
your stripes are yellow and black     I can only
see the yellow one down your back -     you easy
tear.            I've grown immune to your claws
pussycats,   I know         all your threats are
tissue tigers    crawling across the table to me
all your threats are tissue tigers       ripping
'em up is easy for me now.
we argue all life long,         you'd swear that
black was wrong              throw tantrums like
queen kong           I've trapped you in my song
all your threats are tissue tigers      crawling
across the table to me      all your threats are
tissue tigers         ripping 'em up is easy for
me now.
           composed by a. partridge
