When she was a young girl Her mama said to her "Your daddy's leavin' home today I think he's gone to stay" They packed up all their bags And drove up to Anchorage When they got to Anchorage She checked in to school She wore white Chucks on her feet And she learned the golden rule The punches came fast and hard Lying on her back in the schoolyard Oh 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, pretty soon she met a friend She played guitar They used to sit on the steps at school And dream of being stars They started a band They played all night Oh 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 Oh don't be denied, don't be denied Don't be denied, don't be denied Don't be denied, don't be denied 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
