The Joker's Wild Lyrics - Gino Vannelli

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
