The Joker

Jason Manns

Compositor: Ahmet Ertegun / Eddie Curtis / Steve Miller

Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
'Cause I speak of the pompatus of love

People talk about me, baby
Say I’m doing you wrong, doing you wrong
But don't you worry, baby, don't worry
’Cause I'm right here, right here, right here, right here at home

'Cause I'm a picker, I'm a grinner
I'm a lover, and I'm a sinner
I play my music in the Sun
I'm a joker, I’m a smoker
I’m a midnight toker
I get my lovin' on the run

You’re the cutest thing I ever did see
I really love your peaches, wanna shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Ooo-eee baby, I'll sure show you a good time
Cause I'm a picker, I’m a grinner
I'm a lover, and I'm a sinner
I play my music in the Sun
I'm a joker, I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I get my lovin' on the run

People talk about me, baby
Say I'm doing you wrong, doing you wrong
But don't you worry, baby, don't worry
'Cause I'm right here, right here, right here, right here at home

You're the cutest thing I ever did see
I really love your peaches, wanna shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
C'mon baby, now I'll show you a good time
