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 to 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 Buddy, that's a sign Nine times out of ten Buddy, you are 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 Everybody says stop Everybody says 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 kings or they'll make you cry Lose your poise Fall if you have to But buddy make a noise Everybody says don't Everybody says can't Everybody says wait around for miracles That's the way the world was made I insist on miracles If you do them Miracles Nothing to them I say don't Don't be afraid Don't be afraid Don't be afraid
