Tell all the hunters to lay down their guns

Tell 'em that the tiger needs a little bit of love

Let 'em run the jungle, let 'em roam their land

Then stand back and marvel, "What a beautiful cat"

'Cause I saw a tiger

Now I understand

I saw a tiger, and the tiger saw a man

I can give them a home, safe and warm

But the law wants to ban me, can you tell me who's wrong?

Every time they move, every time they breathe

I can feel their power, I can feel their beast

'Cause I saw a tiger

Now I understand

I saw a tiger, and the tiger saw a man

Well, I saw a tiger, now I understand

Oh, I saw a tiger, and the tiger saw a man

Time is a-tickin', will soon be gone

So you better take a picture

What a sad, sad song

All that armageddon, such a painful loss

When they kill all the tigers in the holocaust

'Cause I saw tiger

Now I understand

I saw a tiger, and the tiger saw a man

I saw a tiger, and the tiger saw a man

Well, I saw a tiger, now I understand

Well, I saw a tiger, now I understand

I saw a tiger, and the tiger saw a man

I saw a tiger, and the tiger saw a man

Ooh, I saw a tiger, do you understand?

I saw a tiger, and the tiger saw a man
