Well, better get into what you got to get into
And youd better get into it now, no slacking please
For United Nations ain't really united
And the organisations ain't really organised
Cause your Riki tiki tavi mongoose at your door no more no more
Riki tiki tavi mongoose at your door
He won't be coming around for to kill your snakes no more, my love
Oh your Riki tiki tavi mongoose at your door no more
Everybody who saw the Jungle Book knows that
Riki tiki tavi is a mongoose who kills snakes
But when I was a young man I was led to believe
There were organisations to kill my snakes for me
I was told i.e. the Church, i.e. the Government, i.e. School
But as I got a little older I learned I had to kill my snakes myself
Oh laboratory
Well, the people walking around they dont know what theyre doing
They bin lost so long, they dont know what theyre looking for
Well, I know what Im a-looking for but I just can't find it
Well, I gotta, I guess I gotta look inside myself some more
