Mandy Patinkin Everybody Says Don't
[HAPGOOD]
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 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
Buddy, that's a sign
Nine times out of ten
Buddy, you are doing just fine
Make just a ripple
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Be brave
This time a ripple
Next timе a wave
Sometimes you havе 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
Everybody says stop
Everybody says mustn't rock the boat
Mustn't touch a thing
(No no no no no no no no)
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 buddy, 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!
