LEAD SHEET IN DA fun song about a famous symbol of Newfoundland - the Newfoundland dog.You Can’t Tell a Newfie words and music by David Kai ©1990 No you can’t tell a Newfie a thing he should do, To sit or to stay or to come back to you He’s hairy and slobbery, as strong as a horse, It’s the Newfoundland dog that I sing of, of course. He’s the kind of a dog that will never be scared, For to serve and protect he was bred and prepared And there’s many a swimmer whose life has been spared, By the Newfoundland dog, who’s like a lifeguard with hair. But you can’t tell a Newfie a thing he should do, To sit or to stay or to come back to you He’s hairy and slobbery, as strong as a horse, It’s 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 handsBut you can’t tell a Newfie a thing it should do,To sit or to stay or to come back to you It’s hairy and slobbery, as strong as a horse, It’s the Newfoundland dog that I sing of, of course. She is strong but so gentle, a real teddy bear, But there won’t be a place where you won’t 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 can’t tell a Newfie a thing she should do, To sit or to stay or to come back to you She’s hairy and slobbery, as strong as a horse, It’s the Newfoundland dog that I sing of, of course. It’s the Newfoundland dog that I sing of, of course.
