  			   G                              D7 
A lot of people think that I am timid and I'm tamed 

     G                                       D7 
But that just goes to prove that they don't know 

       C                                 G 
They think that I am bashful, but I'm flighty just the same 

            D7               A7                   D 
It's this dress I wear that makes them think I'm slow 

       G              C              G 
They think I haven't cut my wisdom tooth 

    G               C              G                 
But oh boy if they only knew the truth 

        C 
I'm a whole lot wilder than I look 

      D7 
By a cover you can never judge a book 

        G                               C 
Folks think that I'm an angel, mother calls me honey lamb 

       D7                            G 
But I feel just like a tiger and I guess that's what I am 

        C                      C7 
I'm a whole lot wilder that I look 

      F                                   Emaj7  
And that's the truth now put that in your book 

   A7 
I meet a lot of fellas and I have lots of fun 

D7                            G 
I go out to dinner with them one by one 

        F            D7         C      A7 
I've a galloping consumption I eat and run 

       D7         G            C      G7   C 
I'm a whole lot wilder than I look
