Monkey shined

Well I had this dream last night

Or was it a nightmare?

I saw Congress

I saw them all

They were babbling

About nothing at all

Then in came the trained monkeys

They took over

And things began to change

So if you see a circus

If you see a circus

In Washington

Well if you see a circus

If you see a circus

In Washington

Then nothing has changed

Well you know

You know

You know that I was just dreaming

But maybe

Maybe they could really get things done

They could raise the debt ceiling

They could cut spending

We could give them bananas

And they could fix this mess

The whole place has been a mess

They could fix this mess

So if you see a circus

If you see a circus

In Washington

Well if you see a circus

If you see a circus

In Washington

Then nothing has changed

So if you see a circus

In Washington

If you see a circus

In Washington

If you see a circus

In Washington

If you see a circus

In Washington

In Washington

In Washington

Where the monkeys are on display
