Don't Rain on My Parade
Dont tell me not to live
Just sit and putter
Lifes candy and the suns
A ball of butter
Dont bring around a cloud
To rain on my parade
Dont tell me not to fly
Ive simply got to
If someone takes a spill
Its me and not you
Who told you youre allowed
To rain on my parade!
Ill march my band out
Ill beat my drum
And if Im fanned out
Your turn at bat, sir
At least I didnt fake it
Hat, sir, I guess I didnt make it
But whether Im the rose
Of sheer perfection
Or freckle on the nose
Of lifes complexion
The cinder or the shiny apple of its eye
I gotta fly once
I gotta try once
Only can die once, right, sir?
Ooh, life is juicy
Juicy, and youll see
Im gonna have my bite, sir
Get ready for me, love
Cause Im a 'comer'
I simply gotta march
My hearts a drummer
Dont bring around a cloud
To rain on my parade!
Im gonna live and live now
Get what I want, I know how
One roll for the whole shebang
One throw, that bell will go clang
Eye on the target, and wham
One shot, one gun shot, and bam
Hey, world, here I am!
Ill march my band out
Ill beat my drum
And if Im fanned out
Your turn at bat, sir
At least I didnt fake it
Hat, sir, I guess I didnt make it
Get ready for me, love
Cause Im a 'comer'
I simply gotta march
My hearts a drummer
Nobody, no, nobody
Is gonna rainon my parade!
