Don't Rain On My Parade Lyrics - Ella Fitzgerald

Don't tell me not to fly 

I've simply got to 

If someone takes a spill 

It's me and not you 

Don't bring around the cloud to rain on my parade 

Don't tell me not to leave 

Just sit and putter 

Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter 

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 

A Cinderella or a shine apple of an eye 

I gotta fly once 

I gotta try once 

Only can die once, right, sir? 

Oh, 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 the cloud to rain on my parade 

Yes, sir 

No, sir 

I'm gonna live and live now 

Get what I want--I know how 

All that the law will allow 

One roll for the whole shebang 

One throw, that bell will go clang 

Though I'm alone, I'm a gang 

Eye on the target and wham 

One shot, one gun shot, and bam 

Hey, world, here I am 

Get ready for me life 'cause I'm a comer 

I simply gotta march; my heart's a drummer 

Nobody, no, nobody is gonna rain on my parade
