[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!
