JOKER (Pete Ham)
[from Keyhole Street: Demos 1966-67 CD - recorded 1967 - released U.S. 2013]

I'm a joker, just a joker
I make people laugh and they see the half
That is happy (Are you happy?)

I'm a joker, just a joker
But it isn't me that they really see
'Cause inside (love) where I hide (love) all my secrets

I know if I'm wise (He knows if he's wise)
I will make you realize (He will make you realize)
That the love that's in my eyes (you will realize) is no joke

Do do doo doo
Do doo doo doo
Do do do do do
Do do doo doo

I'm a joker, just a joker
But the joke's on me if you cannot see
That I want you (and I love you)
That I need you (and I love you)

I know if I'm wise (He knows if he's wise)
I will make you realize (He will make you realize)
That the love that's in my eyes (you will realize) is no joke

Do do doo doo
Do doo doo doo
Do do do do do
Do do doo doo

I know if I'm wise (He knows if he's wise)
I will make you realize (He will make you realize)
That the love that's in my eyes (you will realize) is no joke.
