EVERYBODY SAYS DON'T Lyrics

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!
