This is the start of the large dark 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
(Delicious!)
And all the other animals make jokes
At your attempts to find romance
(Very funny)
Nobody laughs at hippopotamuses,
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 large dark aardvark song
(Bum-bum-bum-bum, bum-bum-bum, bum, yeah yeah yeah!)
