Letra The Joker's Wild de Gino Vannelli original

Sound the trumpets for the princess and her fool
A joke, a jester just to make her smile
Silver bells on his hat and on his pointed shoes
Tears rolling down his cheeks
As he dances in the aisles

Watch the little funny man stand on his head
Watch the silly minstral with his empty arms spread
His life hanging by a thread

The joker's wild
Can't you see by his eyes
The joker's wild
Can't you see through his disguise
The joker's wild about you

Watch him juggle on one foot
Maybe a riddle for a damsel in distress
He's just a clown in a court of thieves
Who conspire for a kiss
It's off with his head dare he show his loneliness

Watch the little funny man walk on his hands
See the little princess laugh as hard as she can
Her every wish is his command

The joker's wild
Can't you see by his eyes
The joker's wild
Can't you see through his disguise
The joker's wild about you

Watch the little funny man stand on his head
Watch the silly minstral with his empty arms spread
His life hanging by a thread

The joker's wild
Can't you see by his eyes
The joker's wild
Can't you see through his disguise
The joker's wild about you
