Bang Bang Bang (The Jester Got Away)
A 70s classic rock song - definitely Steve Miller inspired
Original started out as a demo to test a Fostex digital recorder 20+ years ago, original lyrics has "the joker" but that's obviously been done(!)
My favorite part is in the third verse where SUNO did it right, after "...she said" it did a nice blues guitar lick
Really was a silly song to demo some equipment, but sometimes those are the most fun

BANG BANG BANG (The Jester Got Away)
Chorus]
Bang bang bang
The jester got away
Sneaking down the backstreets, yeah
He lives to fight another day, yeah
Bang bang bang
The jester got away
He leaves when he sees the next exit sign
And there's nothing more to say, hey
[Verse 1]
Tried to be a backstreet lover
Left the car in drive
rolled into a swimming pool
I'm lucky just to be alive, yeah
[Chorus]
Bang bang bang
The jester got away
Sneaking down the backstreets, yeah
He lives to fight another day, yeah
Bang bang bang
The jester got away
He leaves when he sees the next exit sign
And there's nothing more to say, hey
[Verse 2]
Checking into a motel room
I took my lover's hand
Didn't know she was on the lamb
'Til I saw her on the witness stand, yeah
[instrumental]
[Chorus]
Bang bang bang
The jester got away
Sneaking down the backstreets, yeah
He lives to fight another day, yeah
Bang bang bang
The jester got away
He leaves when he sees the next exit sign
And there's nothing more to say, hey
[Verse 3]
I told my woman I had to leave
Before I said goodbye
She told me what she thought of me
Not a tear drop in her eye, she said
bang bang
Now the jester got away
Sneaking down the backstreets, yeah
He lives to fight another day, yeah, hey
Bang bang bang
The jester got away, yeah
He leaves when he sees the next exit sign
And there's nothing more to say, yeah, yeah
Bang bang bang
The jester got away, yeah, hey
Sneaking down the backstreets, yeah
[Outro]
Here we go
(Oh)
(Got to get away)
Watch me getaway

It's lam not lamb, or is lamb some kinky metaphor :)
The music isn't working for these lyrics, maybe try Funk 49 for style
These could be stronger lyrics -
you could drop He leaves when he sees the next exit sign / And there's nothing more to say, hey
and just leave it on the jester gone away.
drop the yeahs, the words should have the swagger.
you could drop the verses and just have the chorus. have instrumental breaks
