You Cant Tell a Newfie words and music by David Kai ©1990
No you cant tell a Newfie a thing he should do
To sit or to stay or to come back to you
Hes hairy and slobbery, as strong as a horse
Its the Newfoundland dog that I sing of, of course.
Hes the kind of a dog that will never be scared
For to serve and protect he was bred and prepared
And theres many a swimmer whose life has been spared
By the Newfoundland dog, whos like a lifeguard with hair.
But you cant tell a Newfie a thing he should do
To sit or to stay or to come back to you
Hes hairy and slobbery, as strong as a horse
Its the Newfoundland dog that I sing of, of course.
You can hook up a Newfie to a cart or a sleigh
It will bear all your burdens, not tiring all day
It can carry a line from a boat to the land
To rescue the perishing, saving all hands
But you cant tell a Newfie a thing it should do
To sit or to stay or to come back to you
Its hairy and slobbery, as strong as a horse
Its the Newfoundland dog that I sing of, of course.
She is strong but so gentle, a real teddy bear
But there wont be a place where you wont find her hair
She will care for the children, watch them just like a Mum
And keep them in safety til labours are done
But you cant tell a Newfie a thing she should do
To sit or to stay or to come back to you
Shes hairy and slobbery, as strong as a horse
Its the Newfoundland dog that I sing of, of course.
Its the Newfoundland dog that I sing of, of course.
