The Joker

The joker is me!
 There's always a joker in the pack
 There's a cardboard clown
 The poor painted 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
 But ev'ryone laughs at him, just the same
 They don't see his painted heart break
 They don't care as long as there is 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

 They don't care as long as there is 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!
