The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 meant to feel
I say sail tilt 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
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 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
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 might come true,
Then I say don't...
Don't be afraid!
