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
