Listen to me Hey rikki tikki, rikki tikki, rikki tikki tavi I am not a machine so don't treat 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 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 And if he tries to shake your hand Just hit him with her frying pan And leave him where he stands Listen to me Rikki tikki, rikki tikki, rikki tikki tavi If you want a picasso, you better start diggin' 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 Rikki
