Now there’s a place-uh
I got ta get-ta ow huh
Got ta cross uh
Haven’t crossed it yet
But here’s a thing nah
I start to sweat ta
When they try to make me uhh
Try to make me say
I won’t say…
Can’t make me say…
I won’t say… ooh
Uh uh uh come on nah
Silver span Talk to the hand
How about trestle? Won’t wrestle no trestle
Golden Gate Won’t take that bait
Overpass? Kiss my ass
One in London fallin’ down
One collapsed in Puget Sound
But there’s a word that won’t be found
In his vocab-u-laryyy
I won’t say… he won’t say
Can’t make me say… can’t make him say
I won’t say… he won’t say
On the narrows what’s that called
Made of steel what’s that called
River crossing what’s that called
Rolling bascule what the hell
Take me to the…
Take me onto the…
Take me to the… MIDDLE EIGHT
Good Lordy
Lover’s locks in Paris, France
Toss the key to seal romance
But under no circumstance
Will he agree to say
I won’t say huh full stop! Tick a lock
Gonna kiss myself OAAWWWW
Silver span Talk to the hand
How about trestle? Won’t wrestle no trestle
Golden Gate won’t take that bait
Overpass Kiss my ass
Sur le pont d’Avignon, l’on y danse, l’on y danse
Sur le pont d’Avignon, l’on y danse tout en rond
Oh my, so pretty, but no!
No way. Not even en français
I won’t say… Rhymes with fridge
Can’t make me say… Rhymes with smidge
I won’t say… Rhymes with ridge
I will not say… Beverage
I won’t say… Rhymes with zidge
No… Sacrilege
Hell no… Cartilage
Patronage
Why won’t he say bridge?
NO! She said bridge!
Wait. I said bridge.
Oh, I said it again.
Oh man, damn.
