Al Kooper - Ive Got A Tiger By The Tail Lyrics

[Intro]
Good evenin', all my fellow Americans
I'd like to welcome you here tonight on behalf of me and the boys in the band
My name is LBJ in case you didn't get me by my voice
I have a little message here for all of you out there tonight
I have one favor to ask you before I step down from my final office
I would just like all of you to just beautify America for me, don't make America dirty
Pick up all the papers and the garbage you see on the street
And if you happen to see a lady that looks like my wife
Why dump her in a little basket too
Yessiree, we want all of you to come and join in with us tonight
We're gonna sing this song
And we hope that all of you can get your feet goin' and get your hands clappin'
As we go down the road
Alright, let's go

[Chorus]
I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see, oh yeah
I won't be much when you get through with me
Because I'm losin' weight and turnin' might pale
It looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

[Verse 1]
When I first met you, you were meek as a lamb
It didn't take much to slow you down
And don't you know after I got you where the bright lights are found
Well, it looks I've got a tiger by the tail
Alright, now pick it, Slim, oww, ugh
[Interlude]
Ooh, that country music just sounds good
Just pick it from your soul
Oh, now get on down Floyd Kramer
Oh yeah, put me in the alley, boys
Now come on, Mr. Organ Man, yeah
Yee-haw
Don't you know that the cattle are low and out in the fields?
And the grass is high
Folks, as we go on here for one more minute, I'd like to introduce the boys in the band to ya
Over there to my left on guitar
Why we have Johnny Guitar on Guitar
Let me hear it for Johnny Guitar, yeah
And over there on bass
Why, we've got Johnny Bass
Let me here it for Johnny Bass, yeah
Pick it out, Johnny Bass, ow
And over there on organ, why, we've got Johnny Organ, playin' on a organ
Let's hear it for Johnny Organ, yeah
Oh yeah, and over there on piano
Why, we've got Jonny Piano, now lemme really hear you do it for Johnny Piano
And last but not least, over there on drums
Why, we've got Dennis Carmassi
Let's hear it for Denny

[Chorus]
Hey, I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see, oh yeah
I won't be much when you get through with me
Because I'm losin' weight and turnin' might pale, oh-woah
It looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
[Outro]
God bless America
