Everybody Says Don’t

Lyrics

Everybody says don't Everybody says don't Everybody says Don't it isn't right Don't it isn't nice Everybody says don't Everybody says don't Everybody says Don't walk on the grass Don't disturb the peace Don't skate on the ice Well, I say do I say Walk on the grass It was meant to feel I say sail Tilt at the windmill And if you fail you fail Everybody says don't Everybody says don't Everybody says Don't get out of line When they say that then Lady, that's a sign Nine times out of ten Lady, you're doing just fine Make just a ripple Come on be brave This time a ripple Next time a wave Sometimes you have to start small Climbing the tiniest wall Maybe you're going to fall But it's better than not starting at all Everybody says no Stop mustn't rock the boat Mustn't touch a thing Everybody says don't Everybody says wait Everybody says can't fight city hall Can't upset the court Can't laugh at the king Well, I say try I say Laugh at the king till it makes you cry Lose your poise Fall if you have to But lady make a noise Yes Everybody says don't Everybody says can't Everybody says wait around for miracles That's the way the world is made I insist on miracles If you do them Miracles Knock on to them I say don't Don't be afraid
