We packed up all of our bags, And traveled up to Winnipeg * (x2) When we got to Winnipeg, I checked in to school Wore white bucks on my feet, Got to learn about the Golden Rule The punches came fast and hard, Lying on my back in the schoolyard * (x2) Chorus: Don't be denied Don't be denied Don't be denied Don't be denied Oh, friend of mine Don't be denied * (x2) Verse 2: Pretty soon I met a friend, Who played guitar We'd set on the steps at school, And dream of being stars We started a band, We played all night (Chorus) Verse 3: Oh, the business men came around, And they listened to our sound There we were on Sunset strip, Playing songs for the highest bid Oh, we played all night, If the price was right (Chorus) Verse 4: Well, all the glitters isn't gold, I know you heard the 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 (Chorus)
