The 'Tiger Is Coming' section of Sugungga, which includes the lyrics shown below.[5]

범내려 온다 범이 내려온다 송림 깊은 골로 한 짐생이 내려온다 누에머리를 흔들며 양귀 쭉 찢어지고 몸은 얼쑹덜쑹 꼬리는 잔뜩 한발이 넘고 동이 같은 앞다리 전동같은 뒷다리 새낫같은 발톱으로 엄동설한 백설격으로 잔디뿌리 왕모래 좌르르르르르 헛치고 주홍입 쩍 벌리고 자래 앞에거 우뚝서 홍행홍행 허는 소리 산천이 뒤덮고 땅이 툭 깨지난 듯 자라가 깜짝놀래 목을 움치고 가만히 엎졌을 때
