If there’s Leo’s Song, of course, there’ll be one for my Sumo.<\/p>\n

The two are really night and day. As I often say (apparently, I like to repeat myself) one is like an Express Stream dog, the other is in Normal Stream with a future in beauty school.<\/p>\n

But although Sumo is faster, he gets too excited, too eager, too fast and that makes him rash and behave aggressively.<\/p>\n

I did want to record this last week, but over enthusiastically cut nails and equally over enthusiastic strumming gave me a blister on the edge of my finger.<\/p>\n

So here I go again, embarrassing myself with an off-key rendition of Sumo’s Song.<\/p>\n\n

The chords are G, D (with a high D), C, D<\/p>\n

If you want to sing along, here are the lyrics:<\/p>\n

Sumo is my name
\nMomo is my nickname
\n24-7 I’m jacked up to go!<\/p>\n

Sumo is my name
\nMomo is my nickname
\n1-2-3 I’m already gone!<\/p>\n

Do I wanna have a walk?
\nDo I wanna have a ball?
\nWhy do you need to ask?

Can I do a wave hello?
\nCan I shake your hand solo?
\nWhy do you need to ask?
\nI can!<\/p>\n

Spin, sit
\nStay, down
\nHi-five
\nReverse, roll
\nI’m good!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
