| [00:17.65] |
I am the entertainer |
| [00:19.85] |
And I know just where I stand |
| [00:22.53] |
Another serenader |
| [00:24.78] |
And another long-haired band |
| [00:27.41] |
Today I am your champion |
| [00:29.68] |
I may have won your hearts |
| [00:31.99] |
But I know the game, you'll forget my name |
| [00:34.59] |
And I won't be here in another year |
| [00:37.03] |
If I don't stay on the charts |
| [00:40.32] |
|
| [00:43.40] |
I am the entertainer |
| [00:44.55] |
|
| [00:45.53] |
And I've had to pay my price |
| [00:48.21] |
The things I did not know at first |
| [00:50.52] |
I learned by doin' twice |
| [00:52.76] |
Ah, but still they come to haunt me |
| [00:55.26] |
Still they want their say |
| [00:57.57] |
So I've learned to dance with a hand in my pants |
| [01:00.00] |
I let 'em rub my neck and I write 'em a check |
| [01:02.44] |
And they go their merry way |
| [01:06.07] |
|
| [01:08.79] |
I am the entertainer |
| [01:11.10] |
Been all around the world |
| [01:13.29] |
I've played all kinds of palaces |
| [01:15.56] |
And laid all kinds of girls |
| [01:18.19] |
I can't remember faces |
| [01:20.63] |
I don't remember names |
| [01:22.71] |
Ah, but what the hell |
| [01:23.89] |
You know it's just as well |
| [01:25.28] |
'Cause after a while and a thousand miles |
| [01:28.23] |
It all becomes the same |
| [01:31.55] |
|
| [01:38.55] |
I am the entertainer |
| [01:40.68] |
I bring to you my songs |
| [01:43.17] |
I'd like to spend a day or two |
| [01:45.29] |
I can't stay that long |
| [01:47.54] |
No, I've got to meet expenses |
| [01:49.92] |
I got to stay in line |
| [01:52.19] |
Gotta get those fees to the agencies |
| [01:54.57] |
And I'd love to stay but there's bills to pay |
| [01:57.13] |
So I just don't have the time |
| [02:01.44] |
|
| [02:03.31] |
I am the entertainer |
| [02:05.37] |
I come to do my show |
| [02:07.74] |
You've heard my latest record |
| [02:10.07] |
It's been on the radio |
| [02:12.50] |
Ah, it took me years to write it |
| [02:14.81] |
They were the best years of my life |
| [02:17.18] |
It was a beautiful song |
| [02:18.28] |
But it ran too long |
| [02:19.47] |
If you're gonna have a hit |
| [02:20.91] |
You gotta make it fit |
| [02:21.98] |
So they cut it down to 3:05 |
| [02:25.24] |
|
| [02:32.70] |
I am the entertainer |
| [02:34.96] |
The idol of my age |
| [02:37.16] |
I make all kinds of money |
| [02:39.41] |
When I go on the stage |
| [02:41.80] |
Ah, you've seen me in the papers |
| [02:44.18] |
I've been in the magazines |
| [02:46.44] |
But if I go cold I won't get sold |
| [02:48.83] |
I'll get put in the back in the discount rack |
| [02:51.27] |
Like another can of beans |
| [02:54.39] |
|
| [02:57.50] |
I am the entertainer |
| [02:59.63] |
And I know just where I stand |
| [03:02.18] |
Another serenader |
| [03:04.39] |
And another long-haired band |
| [03:07.01] |
Today I am your champion |
| [03:09.19] |
I may have won your hearts |
| [03:11.50] |
But I know the game, you'll forget my name |
| [03:13.87] |
I won't be here in another year |
| [03:16.68] |
If I don't stay on the charts |
