I'm Still Here - Live

Lyrics

Yes, the last time I did a concert here in New York
 It was, uhm, Central Park, 27 years ago
 So a lot has happened since then
 Good times and bum times
 I've seen them all and, my dear
 I'm still here
 Gold statues sometimes
 Sometimes a kick in the rear
 But I'm here
 Now one day you're hailed for blazing trails
 Next day you're nailed for fingernails
 Either they cheer or they jeer
 But I'm here
 I've heard 'em say, "Song writing, acting, producing
 What makes her think that she can?"
 Or better yet, "Song writing, acting, producing
 What does she think she's a man?"
 One day a Tony
 Tuesday you're top of the bill
 So I'm here
 Wednesday you're phony
 Thursday you're over the hill
 But I'm here
 Now I've kept my clothes and kept my space
 I've kept my nose to spite my face
 Still once you say you won't
 Keep your place loud and clear
 Once you announce you're directing
 All you hear is
 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 tell me not to live, just sit and putter
 Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter
 Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade
 Don't tell me not to fly, I simply got to
 If someone takes a spill it's me and not you
 Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade?
 I'll march my band out
 I'll beat my drum
 And if I'm fanned out
 Your turn at bat, sir
 'Least I didn't fake it, hat, sir
 I guess I didn't make it
 Get ready for me, love, 'cause I'm a comer
 I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer
 Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade
 I'm gonna live and live now
 Get what I want, I know how
 One roll for the whole shebang
 One throw that bell will go clang
 Eye on the target and wham
 One shot, one gun shot and bam
 Hey, look at me world, here I am
 I'll march my band out
 I'll beat my drum
 And if I'm fanned out
 Your turn at bat, sir
 At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir
 Guess I didn't make it
 Get ready for me, love, 'cause I'm a comer
 I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer
 Nobody, no, nobody is gonna rain on my parade, yeah
