Riki Tiki Tavi (Original Version)
Better get into what you gotta get into
Better get into it now, no slacking please
United Nations ain't really united
And the organisations ain't really organised
Riki tiki tavi mongoose is gone
Riki tiki tavi mongoose is gone
Won't be coming around for to k** your snakes no more my love
Riki tiki tavi mongoose is gone
(Every)body who read the Jungle Book knows that Riki tiki tavi's a
Mongoose who k**s snakes
(Well) when I was a young man I was led to believe there were organisations
To k** my snakes for me
(ie the) church ie the government ie the school
(but when I got a little older) I learned I had to k** them myself
(I said) Riki tiki tavi mongoose is gone
Riki tiki tavi mongoose is gone
Won't be coming around for to k** your snakes no more my love
Riki tiki tavi mongoose is gone
(16 bars instrumental)
People walk around they don't know what they're doing
They bin lost so long they don't know what they've been looking for
Well, I know what I'm a looking for but I just can't find it
I guess I gotta look inside of myself some more
Oh oh oh inside of myself some more
Oh oh oh inside of myself some more
Riki tiki tavi mongoose is gone
Riki tiki tavi mongoose is gone
Riki tiki tavi mongoose is gone
Riki tiki tavi mongoose is gone
I saw you today on a number twelve
Bus you were going my way
