Lyr Req: Belly button fluff

From: KHNic

I remember the first part of a song that was doing the rounds about 20 years ago, written by a chap by the name of Dave Summers ( I think. Apologies if I'm confused.) It started

Each night as I prepare myself for slumber
With Horlicks or a goodnight cup of tea
I take a little peek in the centre of my physique
To see what mother nature's left for me

and the chorus went

It's rough, it's tough
My belly button's always full of fluff
I've got enough fluff to stuff a cushion or a pouffe
And fill it full of belly button fluff fluff fluff.

Any help on the rest greatfully received.

Cheers

Nic

Now wollies come from sheep or goat or Llamas
And feathers from a duck or .. or swan
But as I sit here in my pajamas
Wondering where does belly button fluff come from.
[can't remember the second half of this verse]

I've tried changing all my cottons into rayon
I wear nylon where my woolies used to be
But my body starts to fester
from excess of polyester
And the fluffy stuff is back by half past three
You See..
It makes no difference if you dress in man made fibers
The fluff collects there just the same
And like a hero in a thriller
I'll resort to polly-filla
just to rid me of this antisocial plight.

[The finale tells of regular clenliness routines
...so fiddle round your middle
as you go to take a ... shower
blaa blaa]

Not the lyrics, but I feel contributors should be aware of the work of Graham Barker.

Some folks truly have too much time on their hands.
