Neko Case - Tigers Are Noble lyrics

This is a sad song, about tigers

Let's champion the tigers

Let's champion the tiger 'cause
You know, i think that maybe I wrote
This song for many reasons
But, I was telling them earlier
I was in a cab in Toronto the other day
And the CBC was on and they
Were talking to a lady
Who specializes in animal husbandry
And she takes care of the
Tigers at The Toronto Zoo
And they said "Well do you
Ever reintroduce the tigers?"
And she goes "Well, no
Because their habitat can't sustain them"
And immediately I thought to myself
'There's so many extra children, we
Could just feed the children
To these tigers'
We don't need them we're not
Doing anything with them
Tigers are, tigers are noble!

Hungry!

Noble, and sleek children are loud and messy
I was one of those children
If I were to become tiger food
It would've been more noble than

Heavy!

Anyway probably ruined the song for you now
But we'll still play it for you anyway
