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!
