Boy
A Tiger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He's got no legs and he's got no arms and flipper boy is full of fear
He swims in a fish tank he's star of the show mermaids he spears
Well flipper boy is three foot high he's got no lips or ears
But when flipper boy has finished his shift he drinks twenty pints of beer

Flipper Boy! Flipper Boy!
Flipper Boy! Flipper Boy!
Well flipper boy's a vampire he wants to drink your blood
When flipper boy he smiles at you it's not with love
He's got no fingers just got claws he wants to cut your throat
Flipper boy drinks your blood on it his stomach bloats

Flipper Boy! Flipper Boy!
Flipper Boy! Flipper Boy!

Flipper boy has got no teeth but flipper boy is mean
Flipper boy is star of the show when he speaks he is obscene
Well mermaids don't last long in his tank each one he molests
Flipper boy hates everyone but as a freak he is best

Flipper Boy! Flipper Boy!
Flipper Boy! Flipper Boy!

Well flipper boy is a dirty boy, flipper boy's got a big cock
But every whore that fucked flipper boy fucked flipper with her eyes shut
Flipper boy is a freak in his mind as well
Well all the poison that he thinks flipper boy is going to Hell

Flipper Boy! Flipper Boy!
Flipper Boy! Flipper Boy!
Flipper Boy! Flipper Boy!
Flipper Boy! Flipper Boy!

Well flipper boy is going to Hell! Flipper boy is going to Hell!
Flipper boy is going to Hell! Flipper boy is going to Hell!
Flipper boy is going to Hell! Flipper boy is going to Hell!
Flipper boy is going to Hell! Flipper boy is going to Hell!
Flipper boy is going to Hell! Flipper boy is going to Hell!
