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!
 

first verse (stanza) of “Don’t Rain on My Parade,” a song from the musical Funny Girl (1964), Jule Styne, composer; Bob Merrill, lyricist; sung by Barbra Streisand.
