Couldn't get you right so I tried to get you wrong
Couldn't hum the tune so I had to sing along
Ran into a friend of mine who said he knew your name
But he really coudn't tell me, he says we all look the same
Now put your right foot in, put your left foot in, step in the middle
Now where's the sin
Let the old dog sleep, now let it lie
Let the old dog sleep, now let it lie

Listening to the radio wakes you in the morning
Dreaming of that lady, oh she left you without warning
Holidays, Saturdays, taxis and friends
Catch a train on time, pay your bills on time, get your plates on time
Fair and square on the line
Let the old dog sleep, now let it lie

Arma Jean, Arma Jean, you're as sweet as a pickle, I'm a superfly 
Tell me that you love me or else I'm gonna cry, Arma Jean

Going to the movies on a Monday afternoon
Catch a train to Winnipeg or fly to Saskatoon
Give your life to politics or join a marching band
Gone away, gone away, gone away, gonna say
I've said it all before
So let the old dog sleep, now let it lie
