Tiger, tiger, eyes so bright,
Hunting, hunting, through the night,
Lurking, lurking, in the shade,
Monkey, monkey, be afraid,
Tiger, tiger, with teeth that bite,
Hunting, hunting, through the night.

Tiger, tiger, eyes so bright,
Hunting, hunting, through the night,
Stalking, stalking, through the reeds,
For camouflage is all it needs,
Tiger, tiger, with strength and might,
Hunting, hunting, through the night.

Tiger, tiger, eyes so bright,
Hunting, hunting, through the night,
Listen, listen, what’s that you hark,
It’s tiger, tiger, pouncing in the dark,
Tiger, tiger, with powers of fright,
Hunting, hunting, in the night.

Tiger, tiger, eyes so bright,
Hunting, hunting, through the night,
In the darkness you hear a squeal,
Of tiger, tiger, making his meal,
Tiger, tiger, eyes alight,
Hunting, hunting, through the night.
