Nobody can tell ya

There's only one song worth singin'

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 sing along

You're gonna be knowing

The loneliest kind of lonely

It may be rough goin'

Just to do your thing's 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

You 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 gotta make your own kind of music

Sing your own special song

Make your own kind of music
