[Verse 1]
F               C                    G
Better get into what you gotta get into
F                       C           G
Better get into it now, no slacking please
F              C               G
United Nations ain't really united
F                     C               G
And the organisations ain't really organised
 
[Chorus]
F              C           G
Riki tiki tavi mongoose is gone
F              C           G
Riki tiki tavi mongoose is gone
F                      C                                G
Won't be coming around for to kill your snakes no more, my love

[Verse 2]
F                             C                             G
Everybody who read the Jungle Book knows that Riki tiki tavi's a mongoose who kills snakes
F                      C                    G
When I was a young man I was led to believe there were organisations to kill my snakes for me
F             C                 G
Ie the church ie the government ie school
F                              C                            G
But when I got a little older, I learned I had to kill them myself
 
[Chorus]
F                       C           G
(I said) Riki tiki tavi mongoose is gone
F              C           G
Riki tiki tavi mongoose is gone
F                      C                                G
Won't be coming around for to kill your snakes no more, my love
F              C           G
Riki tiki tavi mongoose is gone

[Verse 3]
F                   C                    G
People walk around, they don't know what they're doing
F                      C                    G
They been lost so long they don't know what they've been looking for
F                       C           G
Well, I know what I'm a-looking for but I just can't find it
F               C                     G
I guess I gotta look inside of myself some more
F         C                G
Oh oh oh, inside of myself some more
F         C                G
Oh oh oh, inside of myself some more
