Jeff Moss
Long guitar riff (Floyd Pepper)
Dr. Teeth:
You can't take no for an answer!
You can't take no for an answer!
You can't take no for an answer!
No, no, no.
Sax solo (Zoot)
Dr. Teeth:
Whenever there's a dream worth a-dreaming (dreaming!)
And you wanna see that dream come true (dream come true!)
There'll be plenty people talking
"Forget all about it"
Say "it isn't worth the trouble--
All the trouble that you're going through!" (it ain't worth it-NO!)
Well, what can you do?
Chorus
Dr. Teeth/Backup Singers:
You can't take no for an answer! (you can't take no)
You can't take no for an answer! (no no no no)
You can't take no for an answer!
No, no, no.
Backup singers:
No no no no no no no no no.
No no no no no no no no no.
Dr. Teeth:
Whatcha gonna do when the dimes get tough
And the world's treating you unkind?
You gotta hang on to your optimistic outlook
And keep possession of your positive state-of-mind
(state of mind, state of mind, state of mind, state, state, mind!)
Chorus
Dr. Teeth/Backup Singers:
No no no (No 9x)
No no no (No 9x)
No no no (No 9x)
No no no!
Zoot plays a sad blues melody, til fade.
