Lyrics You Can't Keep A Good Dog Down - Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise

You Can't Keep A Good Dog Down

Why settle for a couple o' bones when you can have the whole bank?
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Hey, Charlie!
Charlie, look!
You hit the jackpot!
Oh ho ho
Atta boy, Charlie, I’m proud o' ya!
Charlie, tell 'em!
(sung)
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
That’s right
I’ve eaten dirt
That’s true
It’s hard to buy but even I’ve been jilted by a skirt!
He lies!
But look, pal, I’m still around
Haha!
'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 ya can’t keep a good dog
Can’t keep a good
I say ya can’t keep a good dog down
In him’s the luck of the Irish
The pride of the German
And even, haha, 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
Haha!
But the only way this pup knows is up!
OK, boys!
C’mon!
Help me get 'im!
You get his leg
Lift 'im up!
C’mon!
Didn’t’cha hear the man?
Up!
Up!
Up!
(sung)
Oh, ya can’t keep a good dog down
(Bow wow wow wow!)
You can’t keep a good dog down
(Bow wow wow wow!)
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, man, 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 is to finish first!
So watch out when you hear this sound!
(all of the DOGS howl uproariously)
'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!
