Rikki Tikki Tavi - Fair To Midland

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
