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 sing 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 sing along 

So if you cannot take my hand 
And if your 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 sing along 

You’ve gotta make your own kind of music 
Sing your own special song 
Make your own kind of music
