The news of Nag 's death was all over the garden , for the sweeper had thrown the body on the rubbish-heap . `` Oh , you stupid tuft of feathers ! '' said Rikki-tikki angrily . `` Is this the time to sing ? '' `` Nag is dead -- is dead -- is dead ! '' sang Darzee . `` The valiant Rikki-tikki caught him by the head and held fast . The big man brought the bang-stick , and Nag fell in two pieces ! He will never eat my babies again . '' `` All that 's true enough . But where 's Nagaina ? '' said Rikki-tikki , looking carefully round him . `` Nagaina came to the bathroom sluice and called for Nag , '' Darzee went on , `` and Nag came out on the end of a stick -- the sweeper picked him up on the end of a stick and threw him upon the rubbish heap . Let us sing about the great , the red-eyed Rikki-tikki ! '' And Darzee filled his throat and sang . `` If I could get up to your nest , I 'd roll your babies out ! '' said Rikki-tikki . `` You do n't know when to do the right thing at the right time .
You 're safe enough XXXXX your nest there , but it 's war for me down here .
