Misc - Dont Rain On My Parade lyrics
rate meDon't Rain on my Parade<br />
By Bob Merrill and Jules Styne<br />
Don't tell me not to fly, I've simply got to.<br />
If someone takes a spill, it's me and not you.<br />
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade.<br />
Don't tell me not to live, 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 />
Chorus: I'll march my band out! I'll beat my drum!<br />
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir.<br />
At least I didn't fake it. Hat, sir. I guess I didn't make it<br />
But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection,<br />
Or a freckle on the nose of life's complexion,<br />
The Cinderella or the shiny apple of it's eye.<br />
I gotta fly once. I gotta try once.<br />
Only can die once. Right, sir?<br />
Ooh life is juicy. Juicy and you see<br />
I gotta have my bite, sir.<br />
Get ready for me love, 'cause I'm a "comer"<br />
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer.<br />
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade.<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 />
Tho' I'm alone I'm a gang! Eye on the target and wham!<br />
One shot, one gun shot and bam!<br />
Hey, Mr. Ornstein, here I am!<br />
Chorus<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!
