|
Don't tell me not to live, just sit and putter |
|
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter |
|
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade |
|
Don't tell me not to fly, I've simply got to |
|
If someone takes a spill, it's me and not you |
|
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade? |
|
I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum |
|
And if I'm fanned out |
|
Your turn at bat, sir, at least I didn't fake it |
|
Hat, sir? I guess I didn't make it |
|
But whether I'm a rose of sheer perfection |
|
A freckle on the nose of life's complexion |
|
A cinder on the shiny apple of its eye |
|
I gotta fly once, I gotta try once only can die once |
|
Right, sir? |
|
Ooh, love is juicy, juicy and you see |
|
I gotta have my bite, sir |
|
Get ready for me, love 'cause I'm a comer |
|
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer |
|
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade |
|
I'm 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 gunshot, and bam |
|
Hey world, here I am |
|
I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum |
|
And if I'm fanned out |
|
Your turn at bat, sir, at least I didn't fake it! |
|
Hat, sir? I guess I didn't make it |
|
Get ready for me, love, 'cause I'm a comer |
|
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer |
|
Nobody, no, nobody is gonna rain on my parade |
