Nobody can tell ya

there's only one song

worth singing

They may try and sell ya

'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 going

I will understand...

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've gotta make your

own kind of music

sing your own special song

Make your own kind of music
