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
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 guess I didn't make it
But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection
Or freckle in 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
Whole life is juicy you see and you'll see
I gotta have my bite sir get ready for me
Love cause I'm a comer
Simply got a 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 roll that bell will go clang
High on the target and wham
One shot one gun shot and bam
Hey mister unstream
Here I am
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
Get ready for me
Love cause I'm a comer
I simply gotta march
My heart's a drummer
Nobody no nobody
Is gonna rain on my heart
