Don't tell me not to live, just sit and putter
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade
Don't tell me not to fly, I've simply got to
If someone takes a spill it's me and not you
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade?
(chorus)
I'll march my band out
I'll beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out
Your turn at bat, sir
At least I didn't fake it
Hat, sir
I guess 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 or the shiny apple of its eye
I gotta fly once, I gotta try once
Only can die once, right, sir?
Ooh life is juicy, juicy and you see
I gotta have my bite, sir
Get ready for me love, 'cause I'm a comer
I've simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade
I'm gonna live and live now
Get what I want, I know how
One roll for the whole shebang
One throw that bell will go clang
Eye on the target and wham
One shot, one gun shot and bam!
Hey World, here I am!
(repeat chorus)
Get ready for me love, 'cause I'm a comer
I've simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer
Nobody, no, nobody, is gonna rain on my parade!
Using the phone booth ,
making a few calls
looking so wealthy
using the booth walls
Got me a big date
doodlin' my beat
Putting the face on so she could look sleak
I enjoy precrestinating, wish to
when I'm busy waiting, doodlin' away
Sitting in dining , dinner begining
starting desining using the
line up.
Dining withdrawing, talking to my date
He is so dirty, told me to loose weight
Told him to take on me easy,
Can't you see I'm very busy-
doodlin' away doodlin' away
doodlin' away *2
