Be good is her name and I sing
My lion's song and brush my mane
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 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 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
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 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 claw and I...
And I cut my mane
And I would if I could
But beee good
Treats me the same
She said lions are made for cages
Juste 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 knoooow?
Does she knooooooow?
Be good
Be good
Be good
