I was walking past the music room when I heard singing. At first, I thought it was The Joker by Steve Miller, but something was…off. The words weren’t quite right.
I peeked inside and found Dervish, deeply engrossed in what appeared to be a self-portrait—scrawled with his own revised lyrics. Apparently, the song needed a few improvements to better suit his worldview.
Here’s the full version of Dervish’s rewrite. I take no responsibility for the liberties he’s taken with the lyrics:
Some people call me a con artiste
some people call me the gangster of junk
some people call me Derveeeeeesh!
cause I reek of the pompitous of skunk
I'm a squawker, I'm a talker
I'm a trash bin stalker
I steal your bacon then I run
I'm a joker, I'm a croaker
I'm a back room broker
Sure don't wanna hurt no one
I'm a trickster, I'm a fixer
I'm a double dose elixir
I peddle nonsense just for fun
