[Verse 1]
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 a cloud around
To rain on my parade
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge 1]
I'll march my band out
And I'll beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out
Your turn at bat, Sir
At least I didn't fake it
Your hat, Sir
I nearly didn't make it
Maybe I'm just a rose of sheer perfection
A freckle on the nose of life's complexion
A cinder of a shiny apple of its eye
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 a cloud around
To rain on my parade
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge 1]
I'll march my band out
And I'll beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out
Your turn at bat, Sir
At least I didn't fake it
Your hat, Sir
I nearly didn't make it
Maybe I'm just a rose of sheer perfection
A freckle on the nose of life's complexion
A cinder of a shiny apple of its eye
