00:0030 years, a lot has happened since then.
00:05Good times and bum times, I've seen them all and my dear, I'm still here.
00:16Gold statues sometimes, sometimes a kick in the rear, but I'm here.
00:24One day you're hailed for blazing trails, next day you're nailed for fingernails.
00:32I vote they cheer or they jeer, but I'm here.
00:40I've sung in choirs, I've sung in cellos and bars, and I'm here.
00:48Clubs full of buyers, fancy saloons full of stars, and I'm here.
00:56Don't tell me she designed those clothes, even the needy don't need those.
01:04If she won't cap her teeth, she should cap her nose, never fear.
01:12She'll disappear in a year, hey, I'm still here.
01:19They used to say talent she's got but for speeches, sounds like her throat's in a sling.
01:27And now they say talent she's got but for speeches, why can't she shut up and sing?
01:36Sunday a Tony, Tuesday you're top of the bill, so I'm here.
01:44Wednesday you're phony, Thursday you're over the hill, but I'm here.
01:52Then comes the curse of exposés and even worse of overpraise.
02:00Don't let the hisses or kisses interfere.
02:08Who believes critics? I do, but I'm here.
02:15I've heard them say songwriting, acting, producing, what makes her think that she can?
02:23Songwriting, acting, producing, what does she think she's a man?
02:31I've been through showtunes, I've been through funk, and it's spunk, and I'm here.
02:39Hit songs with no tunes, heavy duets with a hunk, is he here?
02:47I've kept my clothes and kept my space, I've kept my nose to spite my face.
02:55Still won't you say you won't keep your place loud and clear?
03:03Once you announce you're directing, all you hear is,
03:10Everybody says don't, everybody says don't, everybody says don't, it isn't right, it isn't nice.
03:16Everybody says don't, everybody says don't, everybody says don't walk on the grass, don't disturb the peace, don't scare off the eyes.
03:25Well I say do, I say laugh on the grass, it was meant to feel, I say say.
03:35Tilt at the windmill, and if you fail, you fail.
03:39Everybody says no, stop, you mustn't rock the boat, you mustn't touch a thing.
03:45Everybody says don't, everybody says don't, don't tell me not to live, just sit and play.
03:50Life's candy and the sun's up all the day, don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade.
03:58Don't tell me not to fly, I simply got to.
04:02If someone takes a spill, it's me and not you, who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade.
04:09I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum, and if I'm banned out, your turn at bat, sir.
04:21At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it.
04:26Ready for me, love, cause I'm a cop, I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer,
04:31don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade.
04:37I'm gonna live and live now, get what I want, I know how.
04:44One roll for the whole shebang, one throw, that bell will go clang.
04:51I on the target and went, one shot, one gunshot, and bam, hey look at me, world, here I, here I am.
05:11I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum, and if I'm banned out, your turn at bat, sir.
05:26At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it.
05:30Get ready for me, love, cause I'm a cop, I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer.
05:36Nobody, no, no, nobody is gonna rain on my parade.
05:54Hi, my beauty. Hi, my sweetheart.
