Life In the Old Dog Yet - Celtic Thunder, George Donaldson

In my time I’ve been a few places and I’ve many a story to tell.

Here I am still as strong as I’ve been all along,

I’m not ready for heaven or hell.

There are people who do need remindin'

That I’m still the boss around here.

I still call every shot and I’ll tell you what’s what

And what’s not, do I make myself clear.

Chorus:

I’m not ready to roll over

I’m still the daddy of them all,

I’m still the top banana

They still answer when I call.

I’m older, yes but I’m wiser

And they’d better not forget

I’m not ready to roll over,

Cause there’s life in the old dog yet.

(Final 2x)

You can put an old head on young shoulders

My advice is the best I can give

Let them make their mistakes let them fight for their breaks

Let them learn how to love and to live.

I’ve only got the one daughter, time she married a man of her own

And the one I have planned has got plenty of land,

She’ll be grand and I’ll stand all alone.

Chorus 2x
