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 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

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

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

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
