Glee Cast - Don't Rain On My Parade lyrics

rate me

Don't tell me not to live,

<br />Just sit and putter,

<br />Life's candy and the sun's

<br />A ball of butter.

<br />Don't bring around a cloud

<br />To rain on my parade!

<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 />Who told you you're allowed

<br />To rain on my parade!

<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.

<br />Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it!

<br />But whether I’m the rose

<br />Of sheer perfection,

<br />Or freckle on the nose

<br />Of life's complexion,

<br />The cinder or the shiny apple of its eye,

<br />I gotta fly once,

<br />I gotta try once,

<br />Only

can die once, right, sir?

<br />Ooh, love is juicy,

<br />Juicy, and you see

<br />I gotta have my bite, sir!

<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 a cloud

<br />To rain on my parade!

<br />

<br />I'm gonna live and live now,

<br />Get what I want--I know how,

<br />One roll for the whole shebang,

<br />One throw, that bell will go clang,

<br />Eye on the target--and wham--

<br />One shot, one gun shot, and bam--

<br />Hey, Mister Arnstein, here I am!

<br />I'll march my band out,

<br />I will beat my drum,

<br />And if I’m fanned out,

<br />Your turn at bat, sir,

<br />At least I didn't fake it.

<br />Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it.

<br />Get ready for me, love,

<br />'cause I’m a "comer,"

<br />I simply gotta march,

<br />My heart's a drummer.

<br />Nobody, no, nobody

<br />Is gonna rain on my parade!<br /><br />
