Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I was a young boy My mama said to me Your daddy's leaving home today I think he's gone to stay We packed up all our bags And drove out to Winnipeg [Verse 2] When we got to Winnipeg I checked in to school I wore white bucks on my feet When I learned the golden rule The punches came fast and hard Lying on my back in the school yard [Chorus] Don't be denied, don't be denied Don't be denied, don't be denied Don't be denied, don't be denied [Verse 3] Well pretty soon I met a friend He played guitar We used to sit on the steps at school And dream of being stars We started a band We played all night Oh no [Chorus] Don't be denied, don't be denied Don't be denied, don't be denied Don't be denied, don't be denied [Verse 4] The businessmen crowded around They came to hear the golden sound There we were on the Sunset Strip Playing our songs for the highest bid We played all night The price was right [Chorus] Don't be denied, no don't be denied Don't be denied, don't be denied Don't be denied, don't be denied [Verse 5] Well, all that glitters isn't gold I know you heard that story told And I'm a pauper in a naked disguise A millionaire through a businessman's eyes Oh friend of mine Don't be denied
