"The Joker" lyrics - SERGIO MENDES

The joker
The joker

There's always a joker in the pack
There's always a lonely clown
The poor laughing fool falls on his back
And ev'ryone laughs when he's down
There's always a funny man in the game
But he's only funny by mistake
Ev'ryone laughs at him, just the same
They don't see his lonely heart break
No, they don't care as long
As there is a jester, just a fool
As foolish as he can be
There's always a joker, that's a rule
But fate deals the hand and I see
The joker is me

There's always a funny man in the game
But he's only funny by mistake
Ev'ryone laughs at him, just the same
They don't see his lonely heart break
No, they don't care as long
As there is a jester, just a fool
As foolish as he can be
There's always a joker, that's a rule
But fate deals the hand and I see
The joker is me

There's always a funny man in the game
But he's only funny by mistake
Ev'ryone laughs at him, just the same
They don't see his lonely heart break
No, they don't care as long
As there is a jester, just a fool
As foolish as he can be
There's always a joker, that's a rule
But fate deals the hand and I see
The joker is me
The joker is me
(The joker)
The joker is me
(The joker)

The joker is me!
