🇬🇧MARU THE CATDOG OF DESTINY"V2

[INTRO: solo Okarina, soft, emotional, slow tempo] [Male Vocal - quiet and dramatic] Long ago... In a land of sleeping humans... And unpaid rent... There lived a creature... A strange little beast... Neither fully cat... Nor fully dog... But somehow... Cool as hell... [Okarina melody rises] [V1: rhythmic Shamisen enters, Didgeridoo pulse begins] His name was Maru...! Maaaaruuuu...! Yeah that crazy little dude... Half cat... Half dog... Whole lotta attitude... Beige and orange mixed together... Like somebody spilled sunshine on a cloud... Maaaaruuuu...! And damn... He was loud... [Shamisen groove intensifies] When his human called... He came running fast... Like a loyal little soldier... But five minutes later... He'd bite your damn ankle... Just for laughs... [PRE-HOOK] And every night... Around three... When normal creatures slept... Maru started planning... Some weird-ass destiny... [HOOK: Taiko drums enter] Maaaaruuuu...! King of the hallway... Lord of the floor... Maaaaruuuu...! Bringin' chaos... Then askin' for more... Left paw... Right paw... Paper ball flyin' away... Maaaaruuuu...! Party starts every damn day... [V2: bigger groove] Aluminum foil... Paper rolled tight... Didn't need expensive toys... To have the time of his life... Kick to the left... Kick to the right... Boom... There goes another midnight... Whole apartment became his stadium... His battlefield... His kingdom... His ridiculous empire... [Background Vocals] "Maaaaruuuu..." [Male Spoken] Seriously... That little dude was nuts... [BRIDGE: Didgeridoo and Shamisen spotlight] Then he'd raise his fluffy butt... Like he just conquered Rome... Start purring so loud... The furniture vibrated at home... The walls shook... The lamps rattled... The neighbors started asking questions... Was it a motorcycle...? An earthquake...? Or some ancient cat dimension...? [HOOK] Maaaaruuuu...! King of the hallway... Lord of the floor... Maaaaruuuu...! Bringin' chaos... Then askin' for more... Left paw... Right paw... Paper ball flyin' away... Maaaaruuuu...! Party starts every damn day... [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK: Shamisen solo, Okarina answers] [V3: emotional section] But when the madness faded... And the sunrise touched the room... He'd curl up beside his human... Quiet as the moon... No battles... No paper wars... No late-night feline crime... Just Maru... Being Maru... For a little while... [FINAL CHORUS: full band] Maaaaruuuu...! Legend of the living room... Maaaaruuuu...! Master of chaos and doom... Half cat... Half dog... One hundred percent insane... Maaaaruuuu...! And we'd do it all again... [OUTRO: Okarina returns softly] [Male Spoken] Some heroes fight dragons... Some heroes save worlds... And some heroes... Kick paper balls... Across the apartment... At four in the morning... Maaaaruuuu... [Fade Out]
