==============

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 kill 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 kills snakes

(Well) when I was a young man I was led to believe there were organisations

to kill 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 kill them myself

(I said) Riki tiki tavi mongoose is gone

Riki tiki tavi mongoose is gone

Won't be coming around for to kill 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

my way
