Pout-pourri I'm Still Here/ Everybody Says Don't/ Don't Rain On My Parade

Barbra Streisand

Letra

    Good times and bum times,
    I've seen them all and, my dear, I'm still here!
    Gold statue sometimes,
    Sometimes a kick-in-the-rear, but I'm here
    One day you're hailed for blazing trails
    Next you're nailed for fingernails
    Either they cheer or they jeer, but I'm here

    I've sung in choirs, I've sung in cellars and bars, and I'm here!
    Clubs full of buyers, fancy saloons full of stars, and I'd hear...
    “Don't tell me she designed those clothes, even the needy don't need those. If she won't cap her teeth, she should cap her nose, never fear...
    She'll disappear in a year,” — But I'm here!
    They used to say "talent she's got but those screeches, sounds like her throat’s in a sling!"
    And now they say, "Talent she's got but those speeches, Why can't she shut up and sing?!

    One day a Tony, Tuesday you're top of the Bill
    So I'm here!
    Wednesday you're phony, Thursday you're over the hill
    But I'm here!

    Then comes the curse of exposees
    And, even worse, of overpraise
    Can’t let the hisses of kisses into fear
    Who believes critics? I do!
    But I’m here!

    I've heard them say song writing, acting, producing,
    What makes her think that she can?
    Or better yet song writing, acting, producing
    What does she think, she's a man?

    I’ve been through show tours
    I’ve been through funk and it stunk
    But I’m here!
    Hit songs wih no tunes
    Heay duets with a hunk
    Is he here?

    Now I've kept my clothes and kept my space
    I've kept my nose to spite my face
    Still once you say you won't
    Keep your place loud and clear
    Once you announce you're directing all you hear is...

    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 meant to feel
    I say sail tilt to the windmill
    And if you fail you fail!

    Everybody says “No! Stop!”
    Musn't rock the boat
    Musn't touch a thing

    Everybody says...
    Don't tell me not to live, just sit and putter,
    Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter,
    Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade.
    Don't tell me not to fly, I've simply got to, If someone takes a spill,
    it's me and not you,
    Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade
    I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum,
    And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir,
    At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir,
    I guess I didn't make it
    Get ready for me love, 'cause I'm a-comin'
    I simply gotta march, my heart's a-drummin'
    Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade,
    I'm gonna live and live NOW!
    Get what I want, I know how!
    One roll for the whole shebang!
    One throw that bell will go clang,
    Eye on the target and wham,
    One shot, one gun shot and bam!
    Hey, look at me world, here I am...
    I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum,
    And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir,
    At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir,
    I guess I didn't make it
    Get ready for me life, 'cause I'm a-comin'
    I simply gotta march, my heart's a-drummin'
    Nobody, no, nobody, is gonna rain on my parade!
