Nobody can tell you There's only one song worth singing They may try and sell you 'Cause it hangs them up to see someone like you     But you've gotta  make  your own kind of music Sing  your own special song Make    your own kind of music Even if nobody else sings along    You're gonna be nowhere The loneliest kind of lonely It may be rough going Just to do your thing the hardest thing to do      But you've gotta  make    your own kind of music Sing    your own special song Make    your own kind of music Even if nobody else sings along    So if you cannot take my hand   And if you must be goin' I will understand But you've gotta  make  your own kind of music Sing  your own special song Make    your own kind of music Even if nobody else sings along
