The Denial Twist

If you THINK that a kiss is ALL in the lips

C'mon, you got it all WRONG man

And if you THINK that our dance was ALL in the hips,

Oh WELL, then do the twist

If you THINK holding hands is ALL in the fingers,

Grab HOLD of the soul where the MEMORY lingers, and

Make sure to never DO it with a singer

Cause he'll TELL everyone in the WORLD

But he was thinking about the girl

D# D# D# A# A# C CC A# C

Yeah, but he's thinking about the girl, oh

A lot of people get CONFUSED and they bruise

Real EASY when it comes to LOVE

They start putting on their SHOES and walking out

And singing "BOY, I think I had ENOUGH"

Just because she MAKES a big rumpus

She don't MEAN to be mean or hurt you on purpose, boy

Take a tip and do YOURSELF a little service

Take a MOUNTAIN turn it into a mole

Just by PLAYIN a DIFFERENT ROLE

Yeah, by PLAYIN a DIFFERENT ROLE, oh

 

 

Chorus

(Strumming)

 

The boat yeah you know she's rockin' it

And the truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it

The boat yeah you know she's rockin' it

And the truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it

 

 

[Verse]

RIFF

So what, somebody LEFT you in a rut

And wants to BE the one who's in control

But the FEELING that you're under can REALLY make you wonder

How the HELL she can be so COLD

So now you're left, DENYING the truth

And it's HIDDEN in the wisdom in the back of your tooth

Ya need ta, spit it out, in a TELEPHONE booth

While ya CALL everyone that you know, and ask 'em

Where do ya think she goes?

Oh yeah, where d'ya spose she goes?

 

 

Chorus

(Strumming)

 

The truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it

And, the boat yeah you know she's still rockin' it

The boat well ya know there's no rockin' it

And the truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it

 

 

RIFF

 

[Verse]

You recognize the EFFECT and the wreck

That it's CAUSING when she rocks the boat

Well it's the CAUSE hittin on the CARDINAL Laws

'bout the PROPER place to hang her coat

So to YOU, the TRUTH is still hidden

And the SOUL plays the role of a lost little kitten but

You should know that the DOCTORS weren't kidding

She's been SINGING it all along

But you were HEARIN' a DIFFERENT SONG

Yeah, you were HEARIN' a DIFFERENT SONG

But you were HEARIN' a DIFFERENT SONG
