You can hear this at YouTube. I have omitted some patter from my transcription:


HUNTING TIGERS OUT IN INDIAH
Words and music by Hargreaves-Evans-Demerell
As sung by Leslie Sarony

With big hungry tigers, table manners have no place.
Dear, dear, dear, no! Dear, dear, dear, no!
Dear, dear, oh, dear, no!
After they have eaten you, they never say their grace.
Dear, dear, dear, no! Dear, dear, dear, no!
Dear, dear, oh, dear, no!

Hunting tigers isn't any fun.
Like three blind mice, see the hunters run.
Hunting tigers out in India,
Out in, out in, out in India, yah!

You all know how peevish tigers are
Out in, out in, out in India, yah!
They bite; they scratch; they make an awful fuss.
It's no use stroking them and saying, "Puss, puss, puss."
No! Hunting tigers out in India,
Out in, out in, out in India, yah!

How many tigers can you find with forks and serviettes?
Dear, dear, dear, no! Dear, dear, dear, no!
Dear, dear, oh, dear, no!
Don't care in what part of you they fix their fretwork sets.
Dear, dear, dear, no! Dear, dear, dear, no!
Dear, dear, oh, dear, no!

Tigers don't go out on rainy nights.
They've no need to "wet" their appetites.
Hunting tigers out in India,
Out in, out in, out in India.

You all know how peevish tigers are
Out in, out in, out in India, yah!
They bite; they scratch; they make an awful fuss.
It's no use stroking them and saying, "Puss, puss, puss."
No! Hunting tigers out in India,
Out in, out in, out in India, yah!

They bite; they scratch; they make an awful fuss.
It's no use stroking them and saying, "Puss, puss, puss."
No! Hunting tigers out in India,
Out in, out in, out in India, yah!
