She was a young girl My mama said to her Your daddy's leaving home today I think he's gone to stay Packed up all their bags And drove out to Winnipeg They got to Winnipeg She checked in to school She wore white bucks on my feet When she learned the golden rule The punches came fast and hard Lying on her back in the school yard
Don't be denied, don't be denied Don't be denied, don't be denied Don't be denied, don't be denied
Well since she met a friend She played guitar Used to sit on the steps at school And dream of being stars Started a band
Played all night
Don't be denied, don't be denied Don't be denied, don't be denied Don't be denied, don't be denied
The businessmen crowded around They came to hear the golden sound There they were on the Sunset Strip Playing their songs for the highest bid They played all night The price was right
Don't be denied, don't be denied Don't be denied, don't be denied Don't be denied, don't be denied
Well, all that glitters isn't gold I know you've heard that story told And she's a pauper in a naked disguise A millionaire through a business man's eyes Oh friend of mine Don't be denied
