Don't Rain On My Parade

	  		 

 A  
Don't tell me not to live  
Just sit and putter  
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter  
E                       D               A  
Don't bring around the cloud to rain on my parade  

A  
Don't tell me not to fly  
I've simply got to  
If someone takes a spill  
It's me and not you  
E                  D                    A  
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade  

A  
I'm marching my band out  
I'm beating my drum  
           D  
And if I'm fanned out  
              B    F#  
Your turn at bat, sir  
                            A    E  
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir  
I guess I didn't make it  

A  
But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection  
A freckle on the nose of life's complexion  
E                 D               B  
The cinder or the shine apple of an eye  
A  
I gotta fly once  
E  
I gotta try once  
D             A  
Only can die once, right, sir?  
Ooh, life is juicy  
E  
Juicy and you see  
D                A  
I gotta have my bite, sir  

A  
Get ready for me love  
'Cause I'm a "comer"  
I simply gotta march  
My heart's a drummer  
E                        D                A  
Don't bring around the cloud to rain on my parade  

A  
I'm gonna live and live now  
Bm  
Get what I want, I know how  
C#  
One roll for the whole shebang  
Dm  
One throw that bell will go clam  
Eb  
Eye on the target and wam  
Em  
One shot, one gun shot and bang  

A                  D     A  
Hey, Mr. Arnstein, here I am...  
A  
I'm marching my band out  
I'm beating my drum  
           D  
And if I'm fanned out  
              B    F#  
Your turn at bat, sir  
                            A    E  
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir  
I guess I didn't make it  
( A   E   A )  
Get ready for me life, 'cause I'm a "comer"  
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer  
                    E                A  E  
Nobody, no, nobody, is gonna rain on my parade!
