The Joker
A laid-back hit from *The Joker*, 1973, perfect for casual guitar sessions.
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 pompitous of love
People talk about me, baby
Say I’m doin’ you wrong, doin’ you wrong
Well, don’t you worry, baby, don’t worry
’Cause I’m right here, right here, right here, right here at home
Chorus
’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 sure don’t want to hurt no one
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 that I ever did see
I really love your peaches, wanna shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Ooh wee, baby, I’ll sure show you a good time
Chorus
’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 sure don’t want to hurt no one
People keep talking about me, baby
Say I’m doin’ you wrong
Well, don’t you worry, don’t worry, no, don’t worry, mama
’Cause I’m 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
Come on, come on, come on, I’ll show you a good time
