Japan - Don't Rain On My Parade lyrics

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

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 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 it's eye

I've gotta fly once i've gotta try once
Only can die once right, Sir
Love is juicy juicy and I'll say
I've gotta have my bite, Sir

Look out love oh babe I'm coming
Don't tell me not to march
My heart's a drummer
Who told you you're allowed
To rain on my parade

I'm gonna live and live now
Get what I want I know how
One throw for the whole shebang
One throw that bell will go clang
High on the target and wham!
One shot one gun shot and bam!

Don't tell me not to live
Just sit and putter life's candy
And the sun's of ball of butter
Don't bring a cloud
Around 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
