Michael Franks - Tiger in the Rain

Tiger in the Rain by Michael Franks from the album “Tiger in the Rain“ released in 1979 Cover painting: Henri Rousseau’s “Tiger in a Tropical Storm“, 1891. Most of the time He’s the Lord of the Jungle — Everyone grins while he gripes Usually he’s found just lounging around In his stripes His tiger-lady’s a superfine feline — Just what His Highness deserves . . .
