Nobody can tell ya,
There's only one song worth singin',
They may try and sell ya,
As 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 knowin'
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 even if nobody
else sings along.
