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 kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along

You're gonna be knowing
The loneliest road of lonely
It may be rough goin'
Just 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 kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along

And if you cannot take my hand
And if you must be goin', I will understand

And you've gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along

You've gotta make your own music
Sing your own special song
Make your kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along
