| You Can't Teach an Old Dog New Tricks You ever try to teach a dog a brand new trick You take a ball an toss it far and then you say "go get it" chorus 1: You can't teach an old dog new tricks He only knows what he may You can't teach an old 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 chorus 1 chorus 2: You can't teach an old dog new tricks He only knows what he's trained You can't teach an old dog new tricks Not even if you get down and beg No you can't teach an old dog Remember when you saw him in the window You can't forget the first time you brought him home You could have taught him then if you would have known chorus 1 chorus 2 No you can't teach an old dog No, no way You can't teach an old dog new tricks He'll only curl his tail and run away back |
