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
