The Laarge Daark Aardvark Song (The Large Dark Ardvark Song) - Allan Sherman

This is the start of the Laarge Daark Aardvark Song

(bum-bum-bum-bum, bum-bum-bum, bum, yeah yeah yeah!)

There is a large dark aardvark in the park

They say he’s missing from the zoo

(that's me, folks!)

And the police are looking high and low

But they have not seen him;

have you?

(peek-a-boo!)

Why did he go?

Oh, I’ll tell you the reason:

'Cause it’s aardvark mating season

When an aardvark makes a date

He sneaks right through that old zoo gate

So, if you see two aardvarks necking in the park

Don’t upset their apple cart

Do not be a spy, you’re not the FBI

And you should never break an aardvark’s heart

This is the second chorus of the Aardvark Song

To be an aardvark is not easy, folks

'Cause all you get to eat is ants

(dee-licious!)

And all the other animals make jokes

At your attempts to find romance

(very funny…)

Nobody laughs at hippopotamusses

Or at fat rhinoceroses

But an aardvark makes them howl

Because he’s neither fish nor fowl;

He’s like a kangaroo in love with a gnu

And that’s what makes the zoo folks laugh

All of this is so, and here is how I know:

I’m your friendly neighborhood giraffe!

This is the end of the Laarge Daark Aardvark Song

(bum-bum-bum-bum, bum-bum-bum, bum, yeah yeah yeah!)
