Name: Denim Denim
Duration: P00H04M15S
Description: I wrote this song because I feel we worry, and get upset about things that just aren't important or our business. This song is about double denim (wearing denim jacket and jeans at the same time), causing world war three. So let’s start worrying about something that's really important, like who's got the best car in the neighbourhood?

lyrics

lyrics
Denim, Denim
Words and music by Chich

Verse 1:
I've made some mistakes, some bad ones in my time,
but this one that I've made has pushed the world over the line.

I've been warned, I've been taken to the side,
but I just wouldn't listen now the world is in much strife.

Chorus:
Yippy I ay……., yippy I o…….,
Here we go, here we go.

Verse 2:
I thought I dressed so swish so wicked all the time,
but now I just caused world war three the apocalypse just behind.
It’s a mess I can’t digress it’s gone too far,
my sister told me many times that this could lead to war.

Chorus: (x2)
Yippy I ay……., yippy I o……..,
Here we go, here we go.

Bridge:
Denim, denim, denim, denim, drove me to my knees
now the world is in demise.
Iran, Iraq the whole dam east has gone insane,
first they laughed at me and then it turned to rage.
The Frenchies can’t believe I perpetrate such crimes,
the Hague has quickly said I’m paying with my life.
The Germans didn't mind they thought it was OK,
let the cowboy out from deep inside they say.

Verse 3:
Wish I put that mirror on the front door as was told,
I would have seen my big mistake before I left my home.
Denim jacket, denim jeans, short hair on the sides,
with all the shit that’s going on my denims caused a riot.

Chorus: (x4)
Yippy I ay…….., yippy I o………,
Here we go, here we go.
