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
