"Lions And Tigers" lyrics - SLEATER-KINNEY

26 letters from A to Z
L-A-U-G-H, E and there's S
Put them in an order and
They become words
Words become a sentence
When you add nouns and verbs

I'd like to show you a million things
I'd like to make the world for you a better place
But when it pours, it really rains, so
Put on your boots, and let's play

Ants live in a jungle
Leave a trail to their homes
So they can find their way back
If they're ever alone

Monkeys in the trees
They eat bananas too fast
Lions and the tigers they
Hunt in the grass

I'd like to show you a million things
I'd like to make the world for you a better place
But when it pours, it really rains, so
Put on your boots, and let's play

How come all the rulers of this earth
Get off on teaching something strong[?]
Please learn to rule with your head, not your fist
And those lessons that you learn will carry on

I'd like to show you a million things
I'd like to make the world for you a better place
But when it pours, it really rains, so
Put on your boots, and let's play

It's a long long way to go now
I'll be there if you call
It's a long long way to go now
I'll be there if you call
