Everybody Says Don't

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 ment to feel
 I say sail
 Tilt at 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
 Nine 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'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 court
 Can't laugh at the king
 Well, I say try
 I say
 Laugh at the king so 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 them
 Miracles
 Knock on to them
 I say don't
 Don't be afraid
