Listen to me, listen to me      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 don't 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      Rikki...
