Don'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!
