Rikki tikki, rikki tikki, rikki tikki tavi
I am not a machine so don't push me like buttons
Rikki tikki, rikki tikki, rikki tikki tavi
We're not identical twins so don't finish my sentence

Tell me the truth, or don't tell me anything
I'd rather have a heart than courage or a brain

Rikki tikki, rikki tikki, rikki tikki tavi
Don't pay any mind to a voice behind curtains

If you meet the devil's wife
Make sure you wear a suit and tie
And leave him where he stands

If he tries to shake your hand
Just hit him with her frying pan
And leave him where he stands

Listen to me, listen to me

Rikki tikki, rikki tikki, rikki tikki tavi
If you want the picasso you better start digging
Rikki tikki, rikki tikki, rikki tikki tavi
If i build the ark, will you wait for the water?

The only thing that ever turned him blue
Was thinking the sky is what he should be turning to

Rikki tikki, rikki tikki, rikki tikki tavi
There are snakes in the grass, so we better go hunting

If you meet the devil's wife
Make sure you wear a suit and tie
And leave him where he stands

If he tries to shake your hand
Just hit him with her frying pan
And leave him where he stands

Let her take the kitchen sink
And cut her from her apron strings
Just leave him where he stands

All you need is amnesty
So grab my hand and come with me
Just leave him where he stands
