jule styne - don't rain on my parade lyrics
don’t tell me not to live, just sit and putter
life’s candy and the sun’s a ball of b-tter
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 and not you
who told you you’re allowed
to rain on my parade?
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
but whether i’m the rose
of sheer perfection
or freckle on the nose
of life’s complexion
the cinder or the shiny apple of its eye
i gotta fly once
i gotta try once
only can die once
right, sir?
ooh, life is juicy
juicy, and you see
i gotta have my bite, sir
get ready for me, love ’cause i’m a comer
i simply gotta march, my heart’s a drummer
don’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 show bang
one throw, that bell will go clang
eye on the target and wham
one shot, one gun shot, and bam
hey, mister arnstein
here i am
i’ll march my band out
i will 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
get ready for me, love
’cause i’m a comer
i simply gotta march
my heart’s a drummer
n-body, no, n-body
is gonna rain on my parade
