You Can't Keep A Good Dog Down

" Why settle for a couple of bones when you can have the whole bank?"

Oh you can't keep a good dog down (No sir)

No you can't keep a good dog down

I've seen pain and hurt, I've eaten dirt (That's true)

It's hard to buy but even I have been jilted by a skirt (He lies)

But look out, I'm still around

Cause you can't keep a good dog down

Ya can't keep a good dog down (No you can't)

No no no no, you can't keep a good dog down

I've been bought and sold

He's been warm and cold

But ten to one I'll still be runnin' rackets when I'm old

Not in some cage in the city pound

Cause you can't keep a good dog

Can't keep a good, I say you can't keep a good dog down

In him's the luck of the Irish

The pride of the German

And even a bit of Siam

Siam? You see the come of the English

The charm of the Spanish

A pedigree a certainly ain't what I am

So call me a mixed up pup

(You're a mixed up pup)

But the only way this pup knows is up

Ya can't keep a good dog down

Ya can't keep a good dog down

He's been fat and thin

I've been out and in

He tried a life of virtue

But prefer a life of sin

So tonight when we own this town

I've known hunger, I've known thirst

Lived the best and seen the worst

But the only way I know to finish best to finish first

So watch out when you hear this sound

Cause you can't keep a good dog, no ya

Can't keep a good, I say you can't keep a good dog down

You can't keep a good dog down
