Herb Alpert
The Joker
[Verse 1]
There's always a joker in the pack
There's always a lonely clown
The poor laughing 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
Everyone laughs at him, just the same
They don't see his lonely heartbreak

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
There's always a funny man in the game
But he's only funny by mistake
Everyone laughs at him, just the same
They don't see his lonely heartbreak
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 4]
Oh, there's always a funny man in the game
But he's only funny by mistake
Everyone laughs at him, just the same
They don't see his lonely heartbreak

[Chorus/Outro]
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!
