Everybody Says Dont - Harry Guardino

作词：Stephen Sondheim

作曲：Stephen Sondheim

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 don't

Everybody says no 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

Yes

Everybody says don't

Everybody says can't

Everybody says wait around for miracles

That's the way the world is made

I insist on miracles if you do them

Miracles might come true

Then I say don't

Don't be afraid
