American Beauty movie - Don't Rain on My Parade lyrics
rate meSong by Bobby Darin<br /><br>
Don't tell me not to fly<br>
I've simply got to<br>
If someone takes a spill<br>
It's me and not you<br>
Don't bring around the cloud to rain on my parade<br>
<br>
Don't tell me not to leave<br>
Just sit and putter<br>
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter<br>
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade<br>
<br>
I'll march my band out<br>
I'll beat my drum<br>
And if I'm fanned out<br>
Your turn at bat, sir<br>
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir<br>
I guess I didn't make it<br>
<br>
But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection<br>
A freckle on the nose of life's complexion<br>
A Cinderella or a shine apple of an eye<br>
I gotta fly once<br>
I gotta try once<br>
Only can die once, right, sir?<br>
Ooh, life is juicy<br>
Juicy and you see<br>
I gotta have my bite, sir<br>
<br>
Get ready for me love<br>
'Cause I'm a "comer"<br>
I simply gotta march<br>
My heart's a drummer<br>
Don't bring around the cloud to rain on my parade<br>
<br>
Yes, sir<br>
No, sir<br>
I'm gonna live and live now<br>
Get what I want, I know how<br>
All that the law will allow<br>
One roll for the whole shebang<br>
One throw that bell will go clang<br>
Though I'm alone I'm a gang<br>
Eye on the target and wham<br>
One shot, one gun shot and bam<br>
<br>
Hey, world, here I am...<br>
Get ready for me life, 'cause I'm a "comer"<br>
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer<br>
Nobody, no, nobody, is gonna rain on my parade!<br>
<br>
