Hey has anyone got the lyrics to UNDER THE AARDVARK by that comic singer from London, Peter someone (?). heard it late one night at the cambridge FF in 1991, but never since. God it's good.

Peter Buckley-Hill is the chap you mean, methinks, but I do not have the lyrics ... yet!

I am sure I have at least one of peter's cassettes somewhere - Possibly 'Torn Between Two Plovers' - If I can find it I will post what I can find . Peter specialised in rewriting popular songs with seriously off the wall lyrics !

Just been through all my cassettes and the so-and-so seems to have escaped ! All I can remember is its a JailBreak - but the tunnel comes out in the Zoo - Under The Aardvark - to the tune of 'Under the Boardwalk' .

Here's Peter Buckley Hill's website (no hyphen in his name, apparently). UNDER THE AARDVARK is mentioned there, and you can order the album, but no lyrics are given.

Oh, when I'm on the dole and I've got nothing better to do
I save some money by tunneling into the zoo
I like the animals
They give me urges
But every time I tunnel in, guess where the tunnel emerges:

Under the aardvark
out of the rain
Under the aardvark
I've gone and done it again
Under the aardvark
There's a song to be sung
Under the aardvark
when you're covered in dung
Under the aardvark
aardvark

In th dark hear the happy sound of the carousel
In the aardvark's cage all you're conscious of is the smell
Under the aardvark
knee deep in shit
on a blanket with my babe
I'd prefer not to sit

Under the aardvark
Every Saturday night
Under the aardvark
It's not a pretty sight
Under the aardvark
I'd prefer a sheep
Under the aardvark
Well, it helps you to sleep
Under the aardvark
aardvark.

Hope you use this wisely.

This is the same guy who wrote a killer parody of "Morning has Broken" which I sing on occassion.

"Morning has broken, too bloody early
I have awoken with pains in my head
bloody great lorries going to Finchley
pull up your duvet,and hide in your bed"
