I learned this song from Trevor Jones in Avalon on Catalina Island in 1976 were I met Natalie Woods and Robert Wagner who frequented the bar where Trevor played. I don't sing it much but on occasion....when I have the right crowd. Trevor was Welsh I believe and knew more songs than a person has a right to recall. The verse (with a fine welsh-slightly brit but different- accent): In the next cage sports fans we have this most amazing creature known as a bengal tiger fantastic, unbelievable, no shit what the hell's a bengal tiger well the bengal tiger is one of God's most amazing creatures it is an 800 pound pussy that eats you!
