Steve Miller Band, The - The Joker Lyrics






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 pompitous 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
Wooo Wooooo

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
Ooo-eee baby, I'll sure show you a 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

Wooo Woooo

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
Really love your peaches want to shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Come on baby and I'll show you a good time

  1. C.... M....

    ITS 2020 AND STILL LISTENING👍I JUST CAN FIND MUSIC LIKE THIS NOW DAYS ON THE RADIO.

  2. A.... C....

    I am 13 and I listen to all the old music rock and country

  3. A.... l....

    That 70's show <3

  4. M.... S....

    Rock & Roll music designed to ease peoples lifestyle and help coexistence flourish, rap music has never been all that interesting to me, I feel sorry if people have to listen to rap music to keep their jobs. I would this country's Navy could help out if such a problem is actually happening.

  5. �.... ....

    VERY GOOD ~~~!!!

  6. R.... P....

    Clearly you know nothing taking straight up shit boyyyyy :)

  7. 2.... ....

    Found this in a list of worst songs of all time, this is a perfectly good song, idiot.

  8. k.... n....

    Can anyone forget the Pompitus of Love? I remember an interview with Steve Miller who just laughed when he was asked about that word. He said it just seemed to fit in to the song. He knew it wasn't a real word but he said he didn't know he'd be asked about it for the rest of his life!

  9. e.... ....

    i’m just gonna say this because i know it will piss people off but... who’s here in 2020

    e.... ....

    Well if you thought it’d piss people off why’d you post the comment? 🤔🤔🤔

    C.... M....

    Homer Simpson lol😁

  28. P.... S....

    There's a SIMPSONS episode, flashing back to when Marge and Homer met, where Homie still has hair, and he's singing this while driving in his 70's car!

  29. T.... J....

    Suck on some laughing gas and sing this....

  30. D.... M....

    Love this song

  31. j.... s....

    I really can really identify with this song .It goes of in my mind when people ask me who I am.

  32. M.... S....

    Steve Miller Band : "Take the money and run"
    5 mins later...
    "I'm a Joker, I'm a smoker, I'm a midnight talker...."

    Alllllright...

    M.... S....

    *Midnight Toker

  33. D.... ....

    Was amazed when I discovered that this song was by Steve Miller Band and made back in the 70's. Always sounded like a Weezer song from the 90's or something like that. Way ahead of it's time.

    D.... ....

    DrHotelMario was about to comment the same thing

  34. B.... C....

    Great songs will live forever

  35. I.... S....

    *hits blunt* can I go now

    This song reminds me of my father that passed 3 years ago, we would listen to this song and sit on the porch swing for hours just talking. Good times.

  38. C.... C....

    I have tiktok

  39. L.... H....

    "your the cutest thing that I ever did see"

  42. N.... A....

    Why wasn’t this in the joker movie

    N.... A....

    Nolan Abell wouldn't have fit.

  43. D.... D....

    ♥ 🌎 ✌️

  44. S.... ....

    This was our song. My first love in 1976. <3

  45. D.... F....

    This. reminds me of you suck at cooking bean dip song

  46. S.... R....

    This song is so ahead of its time. Would’ve fit right in the 90s rock vibe.

  47. A.... ....

    They really should have put this in the joker movie

  48. j.... m....

    This song reminds me a Levi's ad for some reason...

  49. E.... U....

    Everything melts when I'm with you... New Memories with you... I love you...♥️♥️

  50. R.... H....

    Would've been perfect as closing song to Joker as credits roll

  51. H.... v....

    fake memories runing in my head again ....

  52. M.... ....

    This song emanates pure Boomer energy.

  53. A.... R....

    Been stuck in my family's head all day.😀

  54. R.... P....

    Classic

  55. A.... P....

    I love this song this is me as a song

  56. E.... ....

    Jammie .......

  57. b.... ....

    What genre of music would this be?

  58. i.... t....

    Ahhh simpler times good to experience the peace

  59. J.... W....

    This son is one of the best song I ever wrote! I received more positive response from this one than most an other song! That's proof that the world is mostly sexually predatory!

  60. E.... C....

    Lol back when their was shwag.........

  61. B.... ....

    My 5yo absolutely loves this

  62. J.... D....

    75% percent of my arsenal.- Mars

  63. B.... D....

  64. G.... ....

    Some people call me Arthur Fletcher

  65. B.... S....

    Mexican joker

  66. S.... L....

    One of favorite songs of all time 🙌🏾💯, why is there no music video for this? That should be an actual crime 😥

  67. M.... f....

    Maurice .... you that guy eh!!!!

  68. S.... L....

    I heard this song before and then heard it in that 70's show so I had to listen again! <3

  69. A.... G....

    This song will never get old. Its timeless to me and it was created before my time.

  70. E.... M....

    I was sent by that 70’s show

    E.... M....

    I love that show!

  71. D.... W....

    steve miller: some call me the gangster of love
    the rest of steve miller band: nobody calls him that

    D.... W....

    ✌️😁👍😎👌😎💨 👍❣️🦋 👣

    D.... W....

    Then go out the fuck and get another frontman! Bunch of pussies!

  72. Y.... ....

    The song to listen to when you are totally blazing up some weed....

  73. B.... L....

    drinkin a coke to this
    on the front porch
    swingin' that hammock
    yeeeaahhh

    B.... L....

    Sounds amazing

  74. s.... ....

    me too 🤎😉🎶👍

  75. M.... O....

    “I really love your peaches wanna shake your tree...”

    Has to be one of the finest lyrics ever. Perfect.

    M.... O....

    Next level of blur talking. Very efficient. Plus, I really love peaches.

  76. A.... C....

    Best song to strip too

  77. C.... V....

    This song has always reminded me of my dad before I even met him, but this song is exactly him

  78. J.... S....

    A lot of people think he made up the word 'pompitous' but in fact it is a perfectly cromulent word.

  79. r.... w....

    Maurice

  80. M.... X....

    Ça pas d'allure comment qu'ont avait de la bonne musique durant les années 70 ..... The best times.... THE BEST MUSIC DECADE

  81. T.... ....

    I'm honestly surprised they didn't use this in the movie. It would have fit so well

  82. T.... S....

    Te lo dijo el chombo

  83. e.... h....

    Who’s here from FormaL’s streams?

  84. F.... B....

    I can hear Wah Wah and metal slide for the licks and solo section

  85. F.... H....

    I first heard this hit song/classic way back in 1973 in Frankfurt Germany when I was 16 yrs old ( my big brother had this album.) this song brings back some wonderful memories of my time in Europe.

  86. J.... J....

    Such a great oldie!
    This is one of my go-to songs when I wanna listen to oldies

  87. a.... ....

    His name is Steve so why would some people call him Maurice? ...I know it's just a song but seriously wtf?

  88. N.... W....

    This song just makes me chuckle at several points. Jesus Christ be with you friends!😊

  89. M.... F....

    I'm a sinner please pray for me ask JESUS to forgive me of my sins

  90. A.... S....

    When people ask me, if i already know "the joker" and me so...

    A.... S....

    Exactly!!!

  91. W.... M....

    THAT'S 70s SHOW
    FEZ'S IMAGINATION

  92. R.... S....

    My favorite song of all-time.

  93. O.... S....

    If I stayed on the nation , my name would have been Onondaga Sardino. . My dad was from up North. Akwasassne my mom from here on the Onondaga nation. She is a Paulus

  94. O.... S....

    The man that could never double as your father was Arthur Treacher . The cops, clergy and all the good people had to dress as clowns . That was the 1970's . The worst joker was a picture of me in my boy days. The song is my way by side vicious

  95. c.... ....

    I’m da Jokah, baby!

  96. J.... B....

    Puff puff pass ;)

  97. B.... E....

    I love that when I look for this song on youtube the first result is something from the Joker movie. People are going to click that result and completely miss out on one of the greatest songs of all time.
