The Song of the Jaguar

I need a beat
Some tapping feet
I need you to clap
So I can rap
Like this.....

One-two-three-four

You know, I've been thinking...
What use would these teeth be if I didn't use 'em
Or if I didn't make use of my speed
What good would my claws do if I never took 'em out
My prey wouldn't pay me no heed
Yeah, I'd grow hungry and soon I wouldn't be here
And you I'm not too crazy 'bout that
I'm proud of the tools that make me who I am
A cool-stalking, night-prowling beautiful cat

We've got what we've got, for each has its lot
Don't be a fool - use your tools!

Well now the dolphin's got her bottle-nose opener
Parrot's got a nutcracker beak
And if not for his clamps and chisels
Piranha would be sweet and meek
Yeah the anteater's got a snooty bore
The anaconda's got her vise
Am I to blame if my tools are made
To rip and to tear, to slash and to slice
(Well, at heart, I'm nice)


We've got what we've got, for each has its lot
Don't be a fool - use your tools!
