     Joker James, you did it again, caused somebody pain
               (he's a joker...   he's a joker...       he's a joker)
     |D        A      |D     A    |D    A    |D
  You lived up to your name, Jimmy,   Joker James
    (he's a joker, he's a joker, he's Joker James)

   Sally was a stamp collector, pretty little girl
     |G            |Gm/Bb                        |D      
  One day she dated James, bringing love into her world
  |D              |Gm/Bb         |D              |Gm/Bb 
  A tense romantic moment as they sat down on the couch
     |D       A/C#   |G/B        D/F#|A          A   |A
  The whoopee cushion roared and I'm afraid it's over now
  
  Joker James, you did it again, caused somebody pain
  (He's a joker...)
  You lived up to your name, didn't you, Joker James
  
  Lucy was a cool one, always got her high 
  Then she dated James and true love took her higher
  The jester had suggested a new way to get stoned
  Put itching powder down her neck and now she's all alone
  
  Joker James, you did it again, caused somebody pain
  You lived up to your name, didn't you, Joker James
  
  |G             |A
   Sense of humor cannot woo her
  You just threw another wheeze her way
  Wizard pranks won't get you thanks
  You just threw another love away
  
  |E                    |E+#5                 |E6    |E7
   Alice was a different kettle, always wore a smile
     |A             |Am/C                       |E
  Her skin felt like heaven and laughter all the while
     |E             |Am/C          |E              |Am/C
  Her sense of humor throws him and deep in love he falls
     |E       B/Eb    |A/C#     E/Ab      |B      B     |B
  But when he tries to sign the paper, the rubber pencil falls
  
  |E B    |E             B     |E          A        |E    A         |E
     Joker James, you're not to blame, the joke's on you, now you're blue
       A     |E          B         |E     B    |E       |       
  It's such a shame, but that's the game, Joker James
  
  Joker James, you did it again, caused somebody pain
  You lived up to your name, Jimmy, Joker James
