That rhyme made so much more sense to me once I learned there was an older, racist version. As a child, I was always all "why am I trying to catch a tiger? Won't the tiger eat me? Tigers are scary! And why is it just hollering instead of roaring and/or ripping my head off? This all seems like a very bad plan!"
