(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!). 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.
