Rikki Tikki Tavi Lyrics - Arrows & Anchors - 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 

rikki
