No Doubt - You Can't Teach An Old Dog New Tricks lyrics

written by E. Stefani At the park you try to teach a dog a brand new trick You take a ball and toss it far and then you say "go get it" You know you can't teach an ol' dog new tricks He only knows what he may No you can't teach an ol' dog new tricks He'll only curl his tail and run away And so you try a new approach, you try to hold and cuddle it You hope he'll learn it if you try again but he just don't get it You can't teach an ol' dog new tricks He only knows what he may No you can't teach an ol' dog new tricks He'll only curl his tail and run away You can't teach an ol' dog new tricks He only knows what he's trained No you can't teach an ol' dog new tricks Not even if you get down and beg No you can't teach an ol' dog Remember when you saw him in the window (You bought him from the local pet store) You can't forget the first time you brought him home (You brought him home, he went on the floor) You could have taught him then if you would have known (Party No Doubt!)
