Everybody says dont
Everybody says dont
Everybody says dont it isnt right
Dont is isnt nice
Everybody says dont
Everybody says dont
Everybody says dont walk on the grass
Dont disturb the peace
Dont 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 dont
Everybody says dont
Everybody says dont get out of line
When they say that then lady thats 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 youre going to fall
But it is better than not starting at all.
Everybody says no stop
Musnt rock the boat musnt touch a thing
Everybody says dont
Everybody says wait
Everybody says cant fight city-hall
Cant upset the court
Cant laugh at the king!
Well I say try,
I say,
Laugh at the king or hell make you cry
Loose your poise
Fall if you have to but lady make a noise...
Yes!
Everybody says dont
Everybody says cant
Everybody says wait around for miracles
Thats the way the world is made
I insist on miracles if you do them,
Miracles might come true,
Then I say dont...
Dont be afraid!
