Now this is, they can just vamp,
they can just vamp
while I try to explain.
It's a very exciting night for me.
Naturally, I'm back home,
and Liza's here with me,
and I think that's kind of marvelous.
And I don't know one
word of the next song
And it's really a tongue twister
So if I fail, you won't help me
You won't fail
You think we'll make it?
I don't know
Let's try it, go
Don't tell me not to live to sit
and potter
Life's candy and the sun's a
polar botter
Don't bring around a cloud
to rain on my parade
Don't tell me not to fly, simply got to
If someone takes a pill, it's me
and not you
Don't tell me I'm allowed
to rain on the parade
I'll march my band out
I'll be 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
Or a freckle on the nose
of wise comprehension
The cinder of the shiny apple of
his eye
Hey, 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 -comin'
I simply gotta march, my
heart's a -drumpin'
Don't bring around a cloud
to rain on my parade
I'm gon na live and live now
Get what I want, I know how
One roll for the whole ship, bang
One throw, that bell will go clang
Eye on the target, and wham
One shot, one gunshot, and BAM!
Oh, good, that was good!
I made it to them.
Hey, Mr. Polly!
Here I am
I'll march my band
I'll be my own
And if I fell out
Your turn at bat, sir
At least it didn't make it hat, sir
I guess I didn't make it
Get ready for me
I'm simply gonna march
my heart to ground
and nobody, oh nobody,
will celebrate on my parade.
Applause.
