lyrics

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

Now everybody who read the Jungle Book
Knows Riki Tiki Tavi's a mongoose who kills snakes
When I was a young man I was led to believe there were organisations
To kill my snakes for me
I.E. the church, I.E. the government, I.E. school
But when I got a little older I learned I had to kill them myself

And so 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

People walkin' around, they don't know what they're doing
They've been lost so long they don't know what they've been looking for
Well, I 've been all around the world 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 the number twelve bus
You were going my way
Going my way
