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'll march my band out
I'll beat my drum
           D
And if I'm fanned out
             B     F#
Your turn at bat, sir

At least I didn't fake it
A   E
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 shiny apple of its eye
A
I gotta fly once
E
I gotta try once
D                 A
One 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've simply got to march
My heart's a drummer!
E                     D                  A
Don't bring around a 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 roll
That bell will go clang
Eb
Eye on the target
And wham!
Em
One shot
One gunshot and bam!

A
Hey Mister Arnstein
D    A
Here I am!
A
I'll march my band out
I'll beat my drum
           D
And if I'm fanned out
             B     F#
Your turn at bat, sir

At least I didn't fake it
A   E
Hat sir
I guess I didn't make it

A             E   A
Get ready for me love
'Cause I'm a comer
I simply gotta march 
My heart's a drummer
Nobody no nobody 
E                A  E
Is gonna rain on my parade
