Once upon a time
An evil wicked Empire did govern
The world, they invaded
All the countries but one in ten
And that's only 'cause (Tipu)
Only 'cause they could not find them (Tipu)
Not even Sweden (Tipu)
The warlords ravaging lands until they faced
Tiger Tiger Boy-oy
Rocket Rocket Boy-oy
Tiger Tiger Boy-oy
Rocket Rocket Boy-oy
A night of desire was succeeded
By a morning of its fulfillment
A rocketing rise of a star, of the brightest star
Of the constellation of power and dignity
Born a son of, of a soldier (Tipu)
Of good fortune, fortune made him (Tipu)
Made him a prince (Regal) and a Sultan (Tipu)
Ruling wisely (Regal), burning brightly (Tipu)
Tiger Tiger Boy-oy
Rocket Rocket Boy-oy
Tiger Tiger Boy-oy
Rocket Rocket Boy-oy
It's, it's better to live (Tipu)
A day like a tiger (Tipu)
Than one, one and one thousand years (Tipu)
(Tipu)
As, as a jackal
"Hitting the enemy with the flying plague of Tipu's sword-tipped rockets"
Cruising elephants
And the rockets' red glare there
Confusing, shuttering
The evil Empire's army utterly
Freedom fighters won
A home run for the Tiger of Mysore
What kind of a monster
Takes children as hostages?
Tipu's sons were stolen away
A Judas let the enemy in
Tiger fighting on and on and on and on and on and on-on
"Dressed in his finest
Firing muskets handed him by his servants as if he was at a sporting shoot
But the odds were too great"
"King down"
People pillaging (Tipu)
Evil pillaging (Tipu)
Laughing Tiger (Tipu)
Tumbling Empire (Tipu)
Time forgot those men (Tipu)
The Tiger rules again (Tipu)
