Don’t Rain On My Parade

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge 1] I'll march my band out And I'll beat my drum And if I'm fanned 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 [Bridge 2] I've gotta fly once I've gotta try once Only can die once Right, Sir Love is juicy Juicy and I'll say I've gotta have my bite, Sir [Verse 3] Look out love Oh babe I'm coming Don't tell me not to march My heart's a drummer Who told you you're allowed To rain on my parade [Bridge 3] 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! [Verse 4] 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 [Verse 5] 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
