Cujo's Cousin Comes to the Cul-de-Sac
Plucking, strumming banjo, clapping
V1:
Hey, folks, let me tell you a tale of the day bad dog Benny came to the cul-de-sac
well a big black mutt came thunderin’ in
his paws were big enough to shake the ground
he came marching in and I do swear that ol Benny had a target on his back
he’s a mean, lean, snarling machine
and oh, you should hear him growl!
C:
Oooohhh, he howled at the moon!
Oooohhh, he howled at the moon!
Just listen to Benny blow!
Oooohhh, hear him growl!
V2:
Cujo’s cousin came to the cul-de-sac one afternoon, huffin’ and a’ puffin’
bad dog gave everyone a bite!
You could see him chase a poor pussy down the road
and he made little Cindy cry and drop her ice cream cone!
So the townsfolk say,
“Oh, that bad dog Benny gotta go!”
So they run him off over the hills
but that old loudmouth wouldn’t quit his growlin’!
And this is how he sounds:
C:
ooooohhh, he hollered at the moon!
Oooohhh, he hollered at the moon!
Don’t mean to sound all doom and gloom,
but boy, hear that beast howl at the moon!
V3:
So the next morning they got themselves a pitch
Gave that dog the ol’ one-two hitch
ran him around the side of the bend
And told him never to come ‘round here again!
And what do you think that bad dog did?
He went up and kicked up a fit!
Hear him now, you hear him, child?
Hey, let’s all do it now-
C:
Ooooohhh, he hollered at the moon!
Oooohhh, he hollered at the moon!
Benny came and Benny went!
My God, how that damn dog did growl!
