Donovan's "Riki Tiki Tavi"
"(Every)body who read the Jungle Book knows that Riki tiki tavi's a
mongoose who kills snakes
(Well) when I was a young man I was led to believe there were organizations
to kill my snakes for me
(ie the) church ie the government ie the school
(but when I got a little older) I learned I had to kill them myself"

"In Norway, we have no rats, but snakes!
I have not seen snake here, but in Norway, we have snakes everywhere!
In house. Outside. Everywhere!
There is government organization to control snakes. They have this machine to kill them.
It's like a claw at the end, except it's a knife!"
