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'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 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
