[Chorus] Me, that blind tiger, and I Bathtub gin grinning, catching your eye Me, that blind tiger, and I Talking low in this backroom tonight [Verse] Slouched in the velvet, cheek in my hand Coal‑smoke corners where the hot jazz band High‑steppin’ dolls with their beads in the light One cop’s shadow at the edge of my sight [Verse] Red rug beneath us, bottles on the sly You sip that moonshine while the nights slip by No straight‑laced crowd, no alibi Just this hush‑hush thrill for me, that gin, and I [Chorus] Me, that blind tiger, and I Bathtub gin grinning, catching your eye Me, that blind tiger, and I Talking low in this backroom tonight
