Shirley Bassey
The Joker
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
There's always a joker in the pack
There's always a lonely clown
The poor lapping fool falls on his back
And everyone laughs when he's down

[Verse 2]
There's always a funny man in the game
But he's only funny by mistake
But everyone laughs at him just the same
They don't see his lonely heart break

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
There's always a funny man in the game
But he's only funny by mistake
But everyone laughs at him just the same
They don't see his lonely heart break
[Chorus]
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 is me
