You Can't Teach An Ol' Dog New Tricks Lyrics - No Doubt

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!) 

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 

No no way 

You can't teach an ol' dog new tricks 

He'll only curl his tail and run away
