You can hear Tiger's song in the new production of "Finian's Rainbow" a great show from 1947 which features one of the wittiest lyrics ever. It's sung by the Leprechaun who begins with "As I become more and more a mortal" and continues:
When I'm not hear the girl I love, I love the girl I'm near,
When I can't fondle the hand that I'm fond of I fondle the hand at hand,
When I'm not near the face that I fancy I fancy the face I face.
And so on and so on including the line, "as long as they have a bosom,I woos 'em
I promise to stop kicking poor Tiger because it's too easy, like shooting fish in a barrel. If want Tiger jokes tune into Jay Leno, he'll be telling them for years.
