Fifty Ways to Say No
I've got 50 ways to say no to drugs.
I've got 50 ways to say no to drugs.
And with 50 ways, multiplied by 50 variations,
times 50 different attitudes in 50 situations,
that makes six million two hundred fifty thousand different ways
to say no!
I was spending the night at my best friend's house.
We went to get something to drink.
That's when we discovered a half a can of beer
just sitting by the kitchen sink.
My friend said, "Hey man, I dare you.
Take yourself a big ol' swaller."
I looked the beer. I looked at my friend,
and this is what he heard me holler...
And if you think my answer was a bit of a bore,
then ask again - I'll give you one you never heard before, cause...
(Chorus)
I saw my cousin sneaking out of the back door,
and I followed her down to the creek.
She was sitting there smoking a cigarette.
I was too surprised to speak
She dug in her pocket and pulled out a pack.
She said, "Smoke one with me. I won't tell."
I looked at the cigarette. I looked at my cousin,
and this is what she heard me yell...
And if you think my answer was a little bit strange,
then ask again, and I can guarantee that it'll change, cause...
(Chorus)
Last summer my sister had this boyfriend
who took me to the fishing hole.
The first thing he did before baiting his hook was fill his
lip up with a dip of Skoal.
He held out the can and said, "What do you think?
Try some yourself today?"
I looked at the Skoal. I looked at his lip,
and this is what he heard me say...
If that was not the answer you were hoping to hear,
then ask again and I'll put something different in your ear, cause...
(Chorus)
