Everybody says don't
Everybody says don't
Everybody says don't
it isn't right
Don't is isn't nice
Everybody says don't
Everybody says don't
Everybody says don't
walk on the grass
Don't disturb the peace
Don't skate on the ice
Well I say do, I say,
Walk on the grass it was
meant to feel
I say sail till to the windmill
And if you fail you fail!
Everybody says don't
Everybody says don't
Everybody says don't
get out of line
When they say that then
lady that's a sign
No times out of ten
Lady you are doing just fine.
Make just a ripple
come on be brave
This time a ripple
next time a wave
Sometimes you have to
start small,
Climbing the tiniest wall
Maybe you're going to fall
But it is better than not
starting at all.
Everybody says no
Everybody says stop
Everybody says
Musn't rock the boat
musn't touch a thing
Everybody says don't
Everybody says wait
Everybody says can't
fight city-hall
Can't upset the court
Can't laugh at the king!
Well I say try,
I say,
Laugh at the King or he'll
make you cry
Loose your poise
Fall if you have to
but lady make a noise
Everybody says don't
Everybody says can't
Everybody says wait
around for miracles
I'm so way the world is made
I insist on miracles
if you do them,
Miracles might come true,
Then I say don't
all be afraid!
