You get a dish of ice cream and leave the scoop on the sink.
Why don’t you rinse it off? Don’t you even stop to think?
You leave your socks piled up sometimes it’s two feet thick.
You’re just an old dog who can’t be taught a new trick.

You shower in the morning and leave the towel on the floor.
No paper on the roll - I can’t take it anymore!
The lid is always up - It’s enough to make me sick!
You’re just an old dog who can’t be taught a new trick.

Lights left on all over, newspaper on the table.
I might overlook your mess but I know that you are able.
These annoying habits of yours, I would never pick.
You’re just an old dog who can’t be taught a new trick.

The candle of my patience is burning down the wick –
You’re just an old dog who can’t be taught a new trick.

I have met many "old dogs", and I haven't stuck with any one of them. I know exactly where you're coming from.
