Lyrics

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 'round 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 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 spammed out Your turn
at bat sir At least I didn’t fake it Hat sir 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 it’s eye
I’ve gotta fly once I gotta try once Only can die once Right, sir?
Love is juicy, juicy and I’ll say I gotta have my bite, sir!
Well, 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 roll for the whole
shebang One throw that bell will go clang High on the target and wham One shot,
one gunshot and bam!
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
Don’t tell me not to fly I’ve simply got to If someone takes a spill It’s me,
not you Who told you you’re allowed To rain on my parade
