|
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 a cloud around |
|
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 |
|
And I'll beat my drum |
|
And if I'm faned out |
|
Your turn at bat, Sir |
|
At least I didn't fake it |
|
Your hat, Sir |
|
I nearly didn't make it |
|
Maybe I'm just a rose of sheer perfection |
|
A freckle on the nose of life's complexion |
|
A cinder of a shiny apple of its eye |
|
I've gotta fly once |
|
I've gotta try once |
|
Only can die once |
|
Right, Sir |
|
Love is juicy |
|
Jucy and I'll say |
|
I've gotta have my bite, Sir |
|
Look out love |
|
Oh babe I'm coming |
|
Don't tell me not to march |
|
My heart's a drummer |
|
Who told you your're allowed |
|
To rain on my parade |
|
I'm gonna live and live now |
|
Get what I want I know how |
|
One throw for the whole shebang |
|
One throw that bell will go clang |
|
High on the target and wham! |
|
One shot one gun shot and bam! |
|
Don't tell me not to live |
|
Just sit and putter |
|
Life's candy |
|
And the sun's of ball of butter |
|
Don't bring a cloud |
|
Around 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 |
