Allan Sherman - The Laarge Daark Aardvark Song lyrics

rate me

This is the start of the Laarge Daark Aardvark Song.<br />

(bum-bum-bum-bum, bum-bum-bum, bum, yeah yeah yeah!) <br />

There is a large dark aardvark in the park,<br />

They say he's missing from the zoo.<br />

(that's me, folks!)<br />

And the police are looking high and low<br />

But they have not seen him; have you?<br />

(peek-a-boo!)<br />

Why did he go?<br />

Oh, I'll tell you the reason:<br />

'Cause it's aardvark mating season.<br />

When an aardvark makes a date<br />

He sneaks right through that old zoo gate.<br />

So, if you see two aardvarks necking in the park,<br />

Don't upset their apple cart.<br />

Do not be a spy, you're not the FBI<br />

And you should never break an aardvark's heart. <br />

This is the second chorus of the Aardvark Song. <br />

To be an aardvark is not easy, folks,<br />

'Cause all you get to eat is ants.<br />

(dee-licious!)<br />

And all the other animals make jokes<br />

At your attempts to find romance.<br />

(very funny...)<br />

Nobody laughs at hippopotamusses,<br />

Or at fat rhinoceroses,<br />

But an aardvark makes them howl<br />

Because he's neither fish nor fowl;<br />

He's like a kangaroo in love with a gnu,<br />

And that's what makes the zoo folks laugh.<br />

All of this is so, and here is how I know:<br />

I'm your friendly neighborhood giraffe! <br />

This is the end of the Laarge Daark Aardvark Song.<br />

(bum-bum-bum-bum, bum-bum-bum, bum, yeah yeah yeah!) <br />
