My mate Cujo

Verse 1)
Found a tiny shadow by the running creek
Only five weeks old, and his legs were weak
A Neapolitan king on my property line
I picked him up and said, "Cujo, you're mine"
Now he’s a mountain of silver and grey
But he still wants to nap the whole day away.
(Chorus)
Oh, Cujo! You giant, wrinkly soul
Drinking my coffee right out of the bowl
From the edge of the water to the heart of the home
The strangest Mastiff that I’ve ever known.
(Verse 2)
He’s got a best friend, a mate named Bomboclat
They’re snoozing together, right where they’re at
But don’t let a chicken wander too close to his jaws
Or they’ll end up a snack in those heavy-duty paws
Then he hits the sofa for his favourite pose
Upside down on the cushions, from his tail to his nose.
(Chorus)
Oh, Cujo! You giant, wrinkly soul
Drinking my coffee right out of the bowl
From the edge of the water to the heart of the home
The strangest Mastiff that I’ve ever known.
(Bridge)
Wrinkles for miles and a heart twice as big
He doesn't care if he looks like a rig
With his belly to the ceiling and his jowls in the air
Life is much better when Cujo is there.
(Outro)
Yeah, he’s my coffee-drinking, chicken-eating boy
My upside-down Cujo, my pride and my joy.
