[Verse 1] She was a young girl Mama said to her Daddy's leaving home today Think he's gone to stay We packed up all our bags And drove out to Anchorage They got to Anchorage She checked in to school She wore white Chucks on her feet She learned the golden rule The punches came fast and hard Lying on her 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 2] Well pretty soon she met a friend Played guitar She used to sit on the steps at school And dream of being stars Started a band They played all night [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] Businessmen crowded around They came to hear the golden sound There they were on the Sunset Strip Playing their songs for the highest bid Played all night The price was right [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] All that glitters isn't gold You know you heard that story told She's a pauper in a naked disguise A millionaire through a businessman's eyes Oh friend of mine Don't be denied
