Well the neighborhood cop he won't smile at me
I got to spend the night in jail before he'll leave me be
Seems like everybody in this town just wants to push me around
But I don't let the little things get me down
I don't let the little things get me down
No I don't let the little things get me down
I just stand up and make a joyous sound
No I don't let the little things get me down
Every girl I meet just makes a fool out of me
They take everything I own before they set me free
Then they laugh at me like I'm Bozo the Clown
But I don't let the little things get me down
I don't let the little things get me down
No I don't let the little things get me down
I just stand up and make a silly sound
No I don't let the little things get me down
?I work five hundred twelve? hours seven days a week
But the boss still calls me a lousy pip-squeak
He won't be happy until I'm six feet under ground
But I don't let the little things get me down
I don't let the little things get me down
No I don't let the little things get me down
I just stand up and make a stupid sound
No I don't let the little things get me down
