Burt Reynolds - You Can't Keep a Good Dog Down lyrics

[spoken] [Charlie] Why settle for a couple of bones when you can have the whole bank? Ha ha ha! [Itchy] Hey, Charlie! Charlie, look! You hit the jackpot! Oh ho ho Atta boy, Charlie, I'm proud o' ya! Charlie, tell 'em! [Verse 1: Charlie, Itchy] [Charlie] Oh you can't keep a good dog down [Itchy] No sir! [Charlie] No, you can't keep a good dog down I've seen pain and hurt [Itchy] That's right [Charlie] I've eaten dirt [Itchy] That's true [Charlie] It's hard to buy but even I've been jilted by a skirt! [Itchy] He lies! [Charlie] But look, pal, I'm still around 'Cause you can't keep a good dog down! [Chorus: Charlie, Itchy] [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 [Charlie, Itchy] 'Cause you can't keep a good dog Can't keep a good I say you can't keep a good dog down [Verse 2: Charlie, Itchy] [Itchy] In him's the luck of the Irish [Charlie] The pride of the German [Itchy] And even, haha, 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] Haha! But the only way this pup knows is up! [spoken] [Itchy] 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! C'mon! [Chorus: Charlie, Itchy, dogs] [Dogs] Oh, ya can't keep a good dog down (Bow wow wow wow!) Ya can't keep a good dog down (Bow wow wow wow!) [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! 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! [Dogs, Charlie] So watch out when you hear this sound! [Dogs, Itchy] '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!
