Stephen Sondheim - Everybody Says Don't - Anyone Can Whistle lyrics

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 gra** Don't disturb the peace Don't skate on the ice Well, I Say Do I say Walk on the gra**, it was meant 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 is better than not starting at all! Everybody says no Everybody says stop Everybody says 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 cart Can't laugh at the king! Well, I Say Try! I Say Laugh at the kings or they'll make you cry Lose 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 That's the way the world is made! I insist on Miracles, if you do them Miracles - nothing to them! I say don't Don't be afraid!
