Everybody says don't

Everybody says don't

Everybody says don't it isn't right

Don't is 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 till to 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

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 you're going to fall

But it is better than not starting at all.



Everybody says no stop

Musn't rock the boat musn't touch a thing

Everybody says don't

Everybody says wait

Everybody says can't fight city-hall

Can't upset the court

Can't laugh at the king!



Well i say try,

I say,

Laugh at the king or he'll make you cry

Loose your poise

Fall if you have to but lady make a noise...

Yes!



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 might come true,

Then i say don't...

Don't be afraid!
