The Joker Songtext
von Steve Miller Band

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
Well, 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 loving on the run

You're the cutest thing that I ever did see
I really love your peaches, want to shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Oh, baby, I′ll sure show you 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 loving on the run

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 doing 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, want to shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
C'mon, baby, and I′ll show you a good time
