Not My Circus, Not My Monkeys
By Steve Parmelee

Some clowns, a truck, they stuffed them all inside
Some clowns, a truck, they thought they’d take a ride
Some clowns, a truck, nobody got the joke
Some clowns, a truck, it seems they lost their pride

Not my circus, not my monkeys
Not my circus, not my monkeys

Some clowns, a book, they toss it round the ring
Some clowns, a book, and off key they all sing
Some clowns, a book, the audience did clap
Some clowns, a book, it’s time for the clown king

Not my circus, not my monkeys
Not my circus, not my monkeys

Not my circus, not my monkeys
Not my circus, not my monkeys

Some clowns, big tent, much space to run around
Some clowns, big tent, act like they’re homeward bound
Some clowns, big tent, the clown king tips his hat
Some clowns, big tent, a crazy clown playground

Not my circus, not my monkeys
Not my circus, not my monkeys
