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 around a cloud 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?
[Verse 3]
I'll march my band out
I'll beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out
Your turn at bat, sir
At least I didn't fake it
Hat, sir
I guess I didn't make it
[Verse 4]
But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection
A freckle on the nose of life's complexion
The cinder or the shiny apple of its eye
[Verse 5]
I gotta fly once, I gotta try once
Only can die once, right, sir?
Oh, life is juicy, juicy and you see
I gotta have my bite, sir
[Verse 6]
Get ready for me love 'cause I'ma comer
I've simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade
[Verse 7]
I'm gonna live and live now
Get what I want, I know how
One roll for the whole shebang
One throw, that bell will go clang
Eye on the target and wham
One shot, one gunshot and bam
[Verse 8]
Hey, Mr. Arnstein
Here I am
I'll march my band out
I'll beat my drum
[Verse 9]
And if I'm fanned out
Your turn at bat, sir
At least I didn't fake it
Hat, sir
I guess I didn't make it
[Verse 10]
Get ready for me love 'cause I'ma comer
I've simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer
Nobody, no, nobody
Is gonna
Rain on my parade
