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 to the window
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're doin'
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's better than
Not starting at all
Everybody says no
Stop 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 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 then
Miracles
Nothing to them
I say don't
Don't be afraid.
