Tiger and a monkey went to war The monkey rode in on a labrador The tiger came on roller skates Skids and fancy figure eights Juggling a dozen plates or more Strutting cocky to the n'th degree Monkey brought his field artillery Look at what the tiger brought Some ante-bellum cannon shot Engraved with Louisiana filigree Round and round and round again we go Round and round and round again you know You're sweet as a buttercup With the gold side up Don't ever think of leaving till you go Blackbird sitting on a daisy chain Says maybe you should come out of the rain Why don't you just postpone your war Clothe your hungry, feed your poor Before you take your sword up once again Round and round and round again we go Round and round and round again you know You're sweet as a buttercup With the gold side up Don't ever think of leaving till you go Well now I've told you everything I know But that never shut me up before Been dealing down the line Crooked decks and loaded dice How far do you think your luck may go Come and kiss me quick oh Molly Dee One for you another one for me We'll make love upon the fence Barring fatal accidents Show how one and one can still make three You're sweet as a buttercup With the gold side up Don't ever think of leaving till you go
