When Tiger is Gone, the Rabbit is King.

Sam Adams was running
The Cosmos Bar in Bangkok
For his friend, the tigress Khun Lek
When the aliens came and ordered a beer
He said, “what the hell”
“When the cat’s away the mice will play”
“When the tiger (Khun Lek)
is gone the rabbit is King”

prompt words

when the cat is gone the mice will play

this reminded me of the Korean equivalent



호랑이가 사라졌을 때 토끼는 왕입니다.
