The Ross Perot Guide To Answering Embarrassing Questions (lyrics by Calvin Trillin, music adapted 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
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
I lie I simply boldly falsify I look the other feller in the eye And just deny, deny, deny I lie
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
I lie I simply boldly falsify I look the other feller in the eye And just deny, deny, deny I lie
appears on the Pete Seeger & Arlo Guthrie album, More Together Again in Concert (1994).
