Lyrics[]
Charlie: Oh you can’t keep a good dog down (Itchy: No sir)
No you can’t keep a good dog down
Charlie: I’ve seen pain and hurt, I’ve eaten dirt
(Itchy: That's true)
'Charlie: It’s hard to buy but even I have been jilted by a skirt
(Itchy: He lies)
Charlie: But look out, I’m still around, cause you can’t keep a good dog down
Itchy: Ya can’t keep a good dog down
(Charlie: No you can’t)
Itchy: No no no no, you can’t keep a good dog down
Charlie: I’ve been bought and sold
Itchy: He’s been warm and cold
Charlie: But ten to one I’ll still be runnin’ rackets when I’m old
Itchy: Not in some cage in the city pound
Both: Cause you can’t keep a good dog. Can’t keep a good, I say you can’t keep a good dog down
Itchy: In him’s the luck of the Irish
Charlie:The pride of the German
Itchy: And even a bit of Siam
Charlie: Siam? You see the come of the English
Itchy: The charm of the Spanish
Charlie: A pedigree a certainly ain’t what I am
So call me a mixed up pup
(Itchy: You’re a mixed up pup)
Charlie: But the only way this pup knows is up
All: Ya can’t keep a good dog down
Ya can’t keep a good dog down
Itchy: He’s been fat and thin
Charlie: I’ve been out and in
Itchy: He tried a life of virtue
Charlie: But prefer a life of sin
Both: So tonight when we own this town
Charlie: 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
Both: 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.
All: You can’t keep a good dog down
