Old dog won’t learn ©Wolff/Siegel, 2011
Jukebox ate quarters like a cockerspaniel eatin' cake
Double or nothin' pool was a bonehead mistake
Went there with cash; came home with a headache
Seems I'm payin' for pain with the money I make
But this old dog just don't learn
Blue collars don't come with money to burn
Diggin' a hole, drinkin' the dollars I earn
This old dog just don't learn
I admit I got as drunk as a poor mutt can get
Chuggin' cheap whiskey that's meant to be sipped
Redheaded waitress got a wolf sized tip, 'cuz
I like to be a big dog when I'm gettin' ripped
Oh, this old dog just don't learn
Blue collars don't come with money to burn
Diggin' a hole, drinkin' the dollars I earn
This old dog just don't learn
No scratch left for a cab
I'm walkin' home after payin' my tab
Howlin' to the moon 'bout the money I spent
Watchin' waggin' waitress tail
Lapping toilet water from the rail
Is more doggone fun than paying my rent
And this old dog just don't learn
Blue collars don't come with money to burn
Diggin' a hole drinkin' the dollars I earn
This old dog just don't learn
New tricks don't come easy, that I can confirm
This old dog just don't learn
Weekends aren't cheap, and I should be concerned
But this old dog just don't learn
