Not My Circus

When your children Near berserk us; When the maitre de Would disapprove; When the pastor Stops the service To ask your cut-ups To stop and move, I shrug my shoulders. Don't grow nervous... I buy, of course, Though they don't deserve it.... When the ice cream vender Tries to serve us.... Not my monkeys! Not my circus!
