Glee Cast - 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 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
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 his 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 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, 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, no, nobody is gonna rain on my parade!
