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 bust my bu*t for 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 underground 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
