All It Takes Is One Bad Day

♫ Send In The Clowns ♫ - Judy Collins

 

My name is the Joker!

 

I like my job

I like it a lot

Just don't call me crazy

Because I'm really Not

 

Here, take my card

Look there's me on the back!

All the cards dealt

I'm the worst in the pack

 

People call me a clown

But I'm a Joker thereafter

I prefer secrets and mischief

To children and laughter

 

 

Did I tell you how I got these Scars?

 

I was leaving a bar

I'd been drinking till light

A man came up behind me and shouted

'You owe me your life!'

 

I played cards with this man

Just a game of Black Jack or two....

He took a knife to my face and sliced, deep

'As a reminder who you owe your life to'

 

 

But its not all gloom and doom

I take it with strife

Plus a gun kills too quick

So I use a knife

 

I can see I disgust you

Why so Serious? I ask

But you can't even look at me

Would you prefer if I wore a mask?

 

Think you can catch me do you?

Shall we have a wager?

Because I believe what doesn't kill you

Simply makes you....... Stranger

 

 

By the way, have I told you how I got these Scars?

 

I used to be quite the player

With a different woman almost every night

I said 'I love you.' to all of them

I guess that wasn't at all right

 

This one needy blonde wanted more than that night

And hunted me down after dawn

'Lets put a smile on that face' she taunted

Then my face was made bloody and torn

 

 

Ooh so you want to play?

Lets have a little fun shall we

How about we upset the established order

Come on... come on... come on... Kill Me!

 

Just look at me, Look. At. Me.

You have all these rules and you think they'll save you

I'm the joker in my world made without rules

Look at me, and you'll see what I can do!

 

HAHAHAAA. You think this is funny?

I don't make plans, this is all I got

I'll take over the city and turn it to madness

Just don't call me crazy,

Because I'm really really Not.

 

 

Do you want to know how I got these scars?

 

Truthfully?
