You don't know me from the morning

Since the old days you've been boring

I gave them what they need to keep them laughing

You gave us skills and fear to make it happen.

Down at st. marks you upped the ante

But the music come in handy

You told me that the king would never have me

You taught me sweet mary before you slapped me.

But I turned the light on, turned the light on

Took the shame out of my bread

Come tomorrow, come tomorrow

Nobody will even know you're dead yeah...

(I'm the joker, I'm the joker)

Mr. tibbs gotta hold on me

Donut hips they were fine by me

You're only out here for a little while

So come on, you dying star.

Turn the light on, turn the light on

Get the shame out of the way

Turn the light on, turn your light on

Everybody knows it's judgment day right now.

(I'm the joker, I'm the joker)

You took the beauty out the window

I guess you don't care which way the wind blows

You told me that the king would never have me

You taught me sweet mary before you slapped me.

But I'm the joker, and I'm changing

And you can't put a pin in my arrangement

Every time you hold me to the fire

I disappear into the choir.

I'm the joker, I'm the joker

I'm the joker, I'm the joker

I'm the joker.

(I'm the joker, I'm the joker)
