New Featured Top Unknown/Underrated Song: "The Joker" by Snail

This group from the Bay Area were not stars, but they should have been.  Another great talent that was overlooked by the masses.  Here is Snail from 1978:

"The Joker"
by Snail
 
Words and Music by Snail
 
The Joker, he cried
He said "Drifter, go home!"
Love's been denied
Won't you leave her alone?
 
I couldn't leave,
'Cause my love was too strong.
So I sat myself down
and sang her a love song.
 
The drifter, he sings
for an hour of time.
The dream doesn't fail,
It just needs more wine.
 
The Joker, he cried
He said "Drifter, go home!"
Love's been denied
Won't you leave her alone?
 
The Joker, he cried
He said "Drifter, go home!"
Love's been denied
Won't you leave her alone?
 
But I couldn't leave,
'Cause my love was too strong.
So I sat myself down
and sang her a love song.
 
And the lady, she cried
Said everything's wrong.
When the Joker gets weak,
Don't you know that the dream stays strong?
 
Wisdom's for fools
And a fool can't be told.
When the drifter gets cold
The Joker stays hot.
