words by Calvin Trillin
|
music and adaptation by Pete Seeger
|
|
When something in my history is found
|
Which contradicts the views that I propound
|
Or shows that I perhaps am not the guy I claim to be
|
Here's what I usually do
|
|
Chorus:
|
I lie
|
I simply boldly falsify
|
I look the other feller in the eye
|
And just deny, deny, deny
|
I lie
|
|
I don t apologize. Not me. Instead
|
I say I never said the things I said
|
Nor did the things some people saw me do
|
When confronted by some things they know are true
|
|
Chorus
|
|
I hate those weasel words some slickies use
|
To blur their past or muddy up their views
|
Not me. I'm blunt. One thing that makes me great
|
Is that I'll never dodge nor obfuscate
|
|
Chorus
|
