What the heck are the real lyrics for the Joker?
Searching in google, I get:
some people call me the space cowboy
some call me the gangster of love
some people call me maurice
cause I speak with the pompetus of love

I can also find pompotous


That has to be a mistake.
What the heck is a pompetus?
What the heck is a pompotous ?

i have that version of the straight dope in book form and i was going upstairs to find it, but you beat me to it online.

as for the next one, in the garden of eden was the real meaning (great simpsons episode)

another useless fact- the bass player from iron butterfly went on to form a computer software company, and he disappeared one day a few years back. it was on unsolved mysteries.
