Be flexible, my boss had said  
And you will get a bonus  
Work on the weekends, use your head  
The deadline’s right upon us

Be flexible, my girlfriend said,  
It’ll only be on weekends  
You know we need to make some bread  
I’ll party, but with your friends

Be flexible, my mother said  
You look so great together  
When are you getting newlywed  
Don’t wait for stormy weather

Be flexible, my preacher said  
And turn the other cheek  
Besides, what will you do instead  
You don’t want to look meek

I’ve listened to the great advice  
They say: you’ve meant to irk us  
But I was trying to be nice  
Now working at the circus
