The Joker

by They Might Be Giants

on TMBG Unlimited - July (2001)

Some people call me a space cowboy, yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
'Cause I speak of the pompatus of love

People keep talkin' about me baby
Say I'm doing you wrong
Don't you worry baby no don't you worry momma
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
Playing my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
Sure don't want to hurt no one

I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
Sure don't want to hurt no one
I'm a smoker
I'm a hooker (smoker)
I'm a midnight toker
Get my lovin' on the run

You're the prett'est thing
That I ever did see
I really love your peaches
Want to shake your tree

Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Ooh-eee baby, I'll sure show you a good time

I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
Playin' my music in the sun

I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
Sure don't want to hurt no one

I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
Sure don't want to hurt no one

I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker (JL sings something along the lines of ninja toker
Didn't ya I toker
I'm a teachin' hooker
I'm a T.J. Hooker)
Get my lovin' on the run

You're the prett'est thing
That I ever did see
I really love your peaches
Want to shake your tree

Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Ooh-eee baby, I'll sure show you a good time
