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

   

  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
