	Story Behind the Song Motivation? To show that the freak show isn't dead - though perhaps it should be. Are humans really responsible enough to have charge of animals? I do wonder. Lyrics Rangini the Tigon I am Rangini the tigon They made me a freak from my birth I am Rangini the tigon The freakiest tiger on earth My mother - a beautiful lion My father - a tiger of worth I am Rangini the tigon The loneliest creature on earth They bred me to show off a lion with small tiger head but large girth I am Rangini the tigon There's nothing like me on this earth The zoo keeper's begging my pardon Its twenty-four years since my birth I am Rangini the tigon The last living freak on this earth The world that I travelled was shrunken Just Calcutta Zoo - and their mirth I am Rangini the tigon A draw for the crowds on this earth I'm still Bengal's most freakish orphan A way to give freak shows re-birth I am Rangini the tigon They trapped me on this piece of earth And sometimes they say I look sullen Or they calculate my skin's worth I am Rangini the tigon A hybrid of sadness on earth I'm dying but not as a lion No tiger should suffer this death I am Rangini the tigon There's no place for me on this earth Copyright 1999 Charlotte Peters Rock
