Lyrics
Be good is her name
And I sing my lion's song
And brush my mane
She would, she could
So she pulled my lion's tail
And caused me pain
She said lions are made for cages
Just to look at in delight
You dare not let 'em walk around
'Cause they might just bite
Does she know what she does
When she dances 'round my cage
And says her name?
Be good, be good
Be good is her name
I trim my lion's claws and I
And I cut my mane
And I would, if I could
But that woman treats me the same
She said lions are made for cages
Just too look at in delight
You dare not let 'em walk around
'Cause they might just bite
Does she know what she does
When she dances around my cage?
Be good is her name
I sing my lion's song
Brush my mane
And she would if she could
So she pulled my lion's tail
And caused me pain
She said lions are made for cages
Just to look at in delight
You dare not let 'em walk around
'Cause they might just bite
Does she know what she does
When she dances around my cage?
Be good is her name
I trim my lion's claws, and I
And I cut my mane
And I would if I could
But be good
Treats me the same
She said lions are made for cages
Just to look at in delight
You dare not let 'em walk around
'Cause they might just bite
Does she know what she does
When she dances around my cage?
She dances around my cage
Does she know?
Does she know?
Be good, be good
Be good, be good
