You Can't Keep a Good Dog Down

CHARLIE & (ITCHY):
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
Have been jilted by a skirt (He lies)
Look out, I'm still around
'Cause you can't keep a good dog down

ITCHY & (CHARLIE):
Ya can't keep a good dog down (No you can't)
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 running
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 & (ITCHY):
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!

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
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
