Hanging 'round street corners,
begging for quarters, that's me
I ain't in no hurry --
I ain't got no money you see
I'm just hanging 'round
I'm the joke of the town
I seem everyone's clown you see
I'm the Joker -- I'm the Joker
The Joker is me

Well I'm just standing here
watching the people go by
They don't seem to care that
someone like me might live or die
You know that it's true
I know that I'm through
But what can I do  -- You see

Small town talk it got to me
It burned my soul so easily
Then you came into my life
And now I'm walking tall you see
They're the Jokers --
They're the Jokers
So blind they couldn't see

Driving down highways,
no troubles or worries, I'm free
I look at the crowd
with their heads in the ground and I see
That I'm on my way --
and I'll get there someday
And when I do, there I'll stay, you'll see
There's a Joker --
There's a Joker
But you know it's not me
You know it's not me --
You know it's not me
