The Joker lyrics

The Joker - Steve Miller Band
Some people call me the space cowboy yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
'Cause I speak of the pompatus of love
People talk about me baby
Say I'm doin' you wrong doin' you wrong
Well don't you worry baby don't worry
'Cause 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
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I 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
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I get my lovin' on the run
Woo-hoo woo-hoo
You're the cutest 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-wee baby I'll sure show you good time
'Cause I'm a picker I'm a grinner
I'm a lover and I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I get my lovin' on the run
I'm a picker I'm a grinner
I'm a lover and I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I sure don't want to hurt no one
Woo-hoo woo-hoo
People keep talking about me baby
They say I'm doin' you wrong
Well don't you worry don't worry no don't worry mama
'Cause I'm right here at home
You're the cutest thing I ever did see
I really love your peaches want to shake your tree
Lovey-dovey lovey-dovey lovey-dovey all the time
C'm on baby and I'll show you a good time
