Everybody Says Don't
Everybody says don't
Everybody says don't
Everybody says
Don't, it isn't right
Don't, it 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 ment to feel
I say sail
Tilt at 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
Nine 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's better than not starting at all
Everybody says no
Stop, mustn't rock the boat
Mustn'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 so they'll make you cry
Lose 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
Knock on to them
I say don't
Don't be afraid
Everybody says don't
Everybody says
Don't, it isn't right
Don't, it 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 ment to feel
I say sail
Tilt at 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
Nine 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's better than not starting at all
Everybody says no
Stop, mustn't rock the boat
Mustn'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 so they'll make you cry
Lose 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
Knock on to them
I say don't
Don't be afraid
