Well times was tough and I got up to settle into some self-care
I had $1,200 in a government check and a small plot of land to spare
Built a strong fence out of twigs and sticks, I was nestled in a castle in the air
Did some surfing on the internet, found me some tigers for to live in there
Now I’m the Tiger Prince of Knoxville
Hillbilly royalty
I mighta been born in a Weigels
Now I’m nobility
I might not look like much to you
But I’m high on Vitamin T
I’m the Tiger Prince of Knoxville, Tennessee
Well he was warm and soft, we started off better than I thought we could
I got fancy feast from the food pantry
He got bigger than I thought he would
And the fence I built wasn’t hard to jilt
For a tiger with a liberated mind
Now he’s wandered off and I ain’t gone soft- I'm gonna find him tonight
I heard they’ve spied my little friend
They even set a trap for him
How’d they know he loves rotisserie?
I’ve saddled up his sister now
She was my favorite anyhow
We'll find him 'fore the Sheriff's Deputies
I am the Tiger Prince of Knoxville, Tennessee
