7 6 -6 7 7 8
Don’t tell me not to fly,
7 -6 6 5 3
I’ve sim-ply got to
7 6 -6 7 7 8
If some-one takes a spill,
7 -6 6 5 3
it’s me and not you
7 6 -6 7 7 -9
Who bring a-round a cloud
-7 8 -8 -7 -8 8
to rain on my pa-rade
7 6 -6 7 7 8
Don’t tell me not to live,
7 -6 6 5 3
just sit and put-ter
7 6 -6 7 7 8
Life’s can-dy and the sun’s
7 -6 6 5 3
a ball of but-ter
7 6 -6 7 7 -9
Who told you you’re al-lowed
-7 8 -8 -7 -8 8
to rain on my pa-rade
-9 -9 -9 8 -6 -9 -9 -9 9
I’ll march my band out, I’ll beat my drum
-9 -9 -9 8 6
And if I’m fanned out,
-7* -7* -7 7* -5
your turn at bat, sir
7* -7* 7*-7* 7* -7* 7* 7 -5
At least I did-n’t fake it, hat, sir
7 -7 7 -7 7 -7 7*
I guess I did-n’t make it
7 6 -6 7 7 8
But wheth-er I’m the rose
7 -6 6 5 3
of sheer per-fec-tion
7 6 -6 7 7 8
Or freck-le on the nose
7 -6 6 5 3
of life’s com-plex-ion
7 6 -6 7 7
The Cin-der or the
-9 -7 8 -8 -7 7 -7
Shi-ny ap-ple of its eye
-9-9 8 -8 -9 8 8 -8 -7 8
I got-ta fly once, I got-ta try once,
-8 -8 -7 7 -6 6 7
On-ly can die once, right, sir?
-9 -9 8 -8 -9 8 8 -8 -7 8
Ooh, love is juic-y, juic-y and you see,
-8-8 -7 7 -6* 6 -6
I got-ta have my bite, sir.
7 6 -6 7 7 8
Get rea-dy for me, love,
7 -6 6 5 3
’cause I’m a “com-er”
7 6 -6 7 7 8
I sim-ply got-ta march,
7 -6 6 5 3
my heart’s a drum-mer
7 6 -6 7 7 -9
Don’t bring a-round a cloud
-7 8 -8 -7 -8 8
to rain on my pa-rade,
7 -6 7 7 -6 7 7
I’m gon-na live and live NOW!
7 -6 7 7 -6 7 7
Get what I want, I know how!
7 -6 7 7 -6 7 7
All that the law will al-low
-7 7 -7 -7 7 -7 -7
One roll for the whole she-bang!
-7 7 -7 -7 7 -7 -7
One throw that bell will go clang,
-7 7 -7 -7 7 -7 -7
Tho’ I’m a-lone, I’m a gang
-8 -7 -8 -8 -7 -8 -8
Eye on the tar-get and wham,
-8 -7 -8 -8 -7 -8 -8
One shot, one gun shot and bam!
8 -8 8 -8 8
Hey, world, here I am …
7 6 -6 7 7 8
Get rea-dy for me love,
7 -6 6 5 3
’cause I’m a “com-er”
7* -6 -6* 7* 7* 8*
I sim-ply got-ta march,
7* -6* -6 5* 3*
my heart’s a drum-mer
8 7 8 7 8 7 8
No-bod-y, no, no-bod-y,
7 8 7 8 7 8 7 8
is gon-na rain on my pa-rade!
