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

Be good
