Don't Rain On My Parade

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
