Lyrics

WELL YOU KNOW THAT HE'S A GOOD DOG
HE DON'T EVER CAUSE NO PAIN
AND WHEN HE'S PLAYIN' WITH HIS TOYS
HE PAWS AND BITES AND MAIMS
HE'S A BLACK LABRADOR RETRIEVER
WITH A PURE BLOOD PEDIGREE LINE
AND IT SEEMS HE'S GROWIN' BIGGER
IT'S ONLY JUST A MATTER OF TIME
CAESAR...CAESAR...HE'S A BLACK LABRADOR RETRIEVER
HE CLIMBS THE WALLS AND STORMS THE HALLS
AND ROAMS THE OPEN YARD
HE'S THE BEST AND TRUEST ANIMAL
ON THIS 'OL PLANET EARTH
AND I COULD NEVER FIND A BETTER DOG
THOUGH NEAR AND FAR I SEARCHED
NOW HE CAN LICK YOUR FACE AND HE CAN BITE YOUR HAND
BUT HE'S ALWAYS BY YOUR SIDE
AND IF YOU EVER NEED HIM THERE
INSIDE YOUR HEART HE'LL HIDE
AND WHEN CAESAR SITS BESIDE YOU
HE HOLDS HIS HEAD UP PROUD
HE KNOWS HE'LL ALWAYS BE THE DOG
THAT STANDS TALL IN A CROWD
YEAH...CAESAR...CAESAR
HE'S A BLACK LABRADOR RETRIEVER
HE CLIMBS THE WALLS AND STORMS THE HALLS
AND ROAMS THE OPEN YARD
HE'S THE BEST AND TRUEST ANIMAL
ON THIS 'OL PLANET EARTH
AND I COULD NEVER FIND A BETTER DOG
THOUGH NEAR AND FAR I SEARCHED...YEAH
