Not My Circus Not My Monkeys

has your work week got you down
and the time clock came unwound
boss breathing down your neck
and you wanna say what the heck

false sense of pride
false sense of stress
when all you can do
is give it your best

(chorus) when it all looks not so sunny
                  tell yourself
                  not my circus, not my monkeys
                  I know it may sound a bit funny
                  but tell yourself
                  not my circus, not my monkeys

know what they are trying to do
won't be a party to their zoo
won't make a monkey out of you
just say this thing I say to you

(chorus)
(instrumental)

won't be a party to their zoo
won't make a monkey out of you

(chorus)
