Hey, world, here I am...
|
|
Don't tell me not to fly
|
I've simply got to
|
If someone takes a spill
|
It's me and not you
|
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade
|
|
Don't tell me not to live
|
Just sit and putter
|
Life's candy and the sun is a ball of butter
|
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade?
|
|
I'm gonna march my band out
|
I'll beat my drum
|
And if I'm fanned out
|
Your turn at bat, sir
|
Hey at least I didn't fake it, hat, sir
|
So what? 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 of a shiny apple of its eye
|
I gotta fly once
|
I gotta try once
|
Only can die once, right sir?
|
Ooh, love is juicy
|
Juicy and you see
|
I gotta have my bite, sir
|
|
So get ready for me love
|
'Cause I'm a-cummer'
|
I simply gotta march
|
My heart's a drummer
|
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade
|
|
I gotta fly once
|
I gotta try once
|
Only can die once, right sir?
|
Ooh, love is juicy
|
Juicy and you see
|
I gotta have my bite, sir
|
|
Get ready for me love, 'cause I'm a-cummer'
|
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer
|
Nobody, I said nobody,
|
Nobody had better rain on my parade!
