Timmy the Tiger
Timmy is a very special tiger. Maybe one of the most special tigers in the whole world. You see, his stripes are not tiger stripes but zebra stripes! One morning several years ago Timmy woke up and all his stripes were gone! He didn't know what to do so he went to his best friend, Bill the Zebra and asked for his advice. Bill gave Timmy more than advice. He gave him some of his very own stripes to wear. Ever since Timmy has been walking around in zebra stripes. And nobody knows it except Timmy, Bill and you, so please, don't tell anybody!
Lyrics
Timmy the Tiger lost all his stripes
he went to Bill the Zebra
who had stripes black and white
"Bill do you have any stripes that you can spare?"
Bill said, "Tim what’s mine is yours,
take what you can wear."
Timmy the Tiger was wearing Zebra stripes
he looked into the mirror
"Bill do I look all right?"
"Dear friend it doesn't matter whose stripes you wear
wear them proudly, no one should ever care
What really matters is our friendship
and this jungle we all share
for if your heart is true dear Tim
it doesn’t matter what you wear"
Timmy thanked Bill for his help
as they shook each other's tail
"It's getting kind of late old friend,
it's time I hit the trail"
Timmy the Tiger headed back to his den
feeling good about his new stripes
and Bill, his best friend
his best old Zebra friend
What matters is our friendship
and this jungle we all share
for if you heart is true dear friend
it doesn't matter what you wear
Timmy the Tiger, Timmy the Tiger
What matters is our friendship
and this jungle we all share
for if you heart is true dear friend
it doesn't matter what you wear!
