Don’t Rain On My Parade Song Lyrics
Don’t tell me not to live, just sit and putterLife’s candy and the sun’s a ball of butterDon’t bring around a cloud to rain on my parade
Don’t tell me not to fly, I simply got toIf someone takes a spill, it’s me and not youWho told you you’re allowed to rain on my parade?
I’ll march my band out, I’ll beat my drumAnd if I’m fanned out, your turn at bat, sirAt least I didn’t fake it, hat, sirI guess I didn’t make it
But whether I’m the rose of sheer perfectionA freckle on the nose of life’s complexionThe cinder or the shiny apple of its eye
I gotta fly once, I gotta try onceOnly can die once, right, sir?Ooh, life is juicy, juicy and you seeI gotta have my bite, sir
Get ready for me love, ’cause I’m a “comer”I simply gotta march, my heart’s a drummerDon’t bring around a cloud 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 clangEye on the target and whamOne shot, one gun shot and bam!Hey, Mr. Arnstein, here I am
I’ll march my band out, I beat my drumAnd if I’m fanned out, your turn at bat, sirAt least I didn’t fake it, hat, sirGuess I didn’t make it
Get ready for me love, ’cause I’m a “comer”I simply gotta march, my heart’s a drummerNobody, no nobody, is gonna rain on my parade!
