When I was a youn g boy, m y mama said to me
Your da ddy's leavin'home today, I think he's gone to stay.
We packed up all our bags and drove out to Winnip eg.
When we got to Win nipeg, I checked in to school.
I wore white bucks on my feet, when I learned the golde n rule.
The punches came fast a nd hard, ly ing on my back in the schoo l yard.
Don't be denied, don 't be denied, d on't be denied, do n't be denied.
Don't be denie d, don't be denie d.
Well pretty soon I me t a friend, he played guitar.
We us ed to sit on the ste ps at school and dream of bein g stars.
We started a b and, we played all ni ght.
Don't be denied, don 't be denied, d on't be denied, do n't be denied.
Don't be denie d, don't be denie d.
Oh Canada we playe d all night
I really hate to leave you now but to stay just wou ldn't be right.
Down in H ollywood we played so good.
The businessmen crowd ed around, they cam e to hear the golden sound
Th ere we were on the Sunse t Strip, playing our songs for the highes t bid.
We played all nig ht, the pr ice was rig ht.
Don't be denied, don 't be denied, d on't be denied, do n't be denied.
Don't be denie d, don't be denie d.
Well, all that glitters isn't gold, I know you've heard that stor y told.
And I 'm a pauper in a na ked disguise, a mill ionaire in a busi nessman's eyes.
Oh friend of m ine d on't be denie d.
