Standard (EADGBE)
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 the 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
I guess I didn't make it
But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection
A 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
One 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 got to 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
Eye on the target
And wham!
One shot
One gunshot and bam!
Hey Mister Arnstein
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 parade
