The Steve Miller Band
The Joker
written by
Miller/Ertegun/Curtis

Homer sings this in an episode of the Simpsons. Hysterical.

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 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

'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

'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

Wooo Wooooo

You're
the cutest thing that I ever did see
I really love your peaches, wannna
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

'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

Wooo
Woooo

People keep talking about me, baby
They 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
Really love
your peaches, wanna shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey
all the time
Come on baby and I'll show you a good
time
