| [00:16.67] |
I am the entertainer |
| [00:18.86] |
And I know just where I stand |
| [00:21.36] |
Another serenader |
| [00:23.55] |
And another long-haired band |
| [00:26.11] |
Today I am your champion |
| [00:28.17] |
I may have won your hearts |
| [00:30.48] |
But I know the game, you'll forget my name |
| [00:32.92] |
And I won't be here in another year |
| [00:35.80] |
If I don't stay on the charts |
| [00:41.61] |
I am the entertainer |
| [00:43.86] |
And I've had to pay my price |
| [00:46.17] |
The things I did not know at first |
| [00:48.48] |
I learned by doin' twice |
| [00:50.61] |
Ah, but still they come to haunt me |
| [00:52.92] |
Still they want their say |
| [00:55.41] |
So I've learned to dance with a hand in my pants |
| [00:57.65] |
I let 'em rub my neck and I write 'em a check |
| [00:59.84] |
And they go their merry way |
| [01:06.34] |
I am the entertainer |
| [01:08.72] |
Been all around the world |
| [01:10.97] |
I've played all kinds of palaces |
| [01:13.34] |
And laid all kinds of girls |
| [01:15.78] |
I can't remember faces |
| [01:17.90] |
I don't remember names |
| [01:20.47] |
Ah, but what the hell |
| [01:22.09] |
You know it's just as well |
| [01:23.89] |
'Cause after a while and a thousand miles |
| [01:25.94] |
It all becomes the same |
| [01:27.19] |
|
| [01:36.07] |
I am the entertainer |
| [01:38.44] |
I bring to you my songs |
| [01:41.07] |
I'd like to spend a day or two |
| [01:42.95] |
I can't stay that long |
| [01:45.38] |
No, I've got to meet expenses |
| [01:47.57] |
I got to stay in line |
| [01:50.01] |
Gotta get those fees to the agencies |
| [01:52.13] |
And I'd love to stay but there's bills to pay |
| [01:55.01] |
So I just don't have the time |
| [01:58.63] |
|
| [02:01.19] |
I am the entertainer |
| [02:03.07] |
I come to do my show |
| [02:05.44] |
You've heard my latest record |
| [02:07.76] |
It's been on the radio |
| [02:10.01] |
Ah, it took me years to write it |
| [02:12.13] |
They were the best years of my life |
| [02:14.63] |
It was a beautiful song |
| [02:15.88] |
But it ran too long |
| [02:17.07] |
If you're gonna have a hit |
| [02:18.63] |
You gotta make it fit |
| [02:19.63] |
So they cut it down to 3:05 |
| [02:30.70] |
I am the entertainer |
| [02:32.51] |
The idol of my age |
| [02:34.82] |
I make all kinds of money |
| [02:37.01] |
When I go on the stage |
| [02:39.26] |
Ah, you've seen me in the papers |
| [02:41.70] |
I've been in the magazines |
| [02:43.88] |
But if I go cold I won't get sold |
| [02:46.32] |
I'll get put in the back in the discount rack |
| [02:49.01] |
Like another can of beans |
| [02:55.13] |
I am the entertainer |
| [02:57.20] |
And I know just where I stand |
| [02:59.51] |
Another serenader |
| [03:02.01] |
And another long-haired band |
| [03:04.70] |
Today I am your champion |
| [03:07.20] |
I may have won your hearts |
| [03:09.45] |
But I know the game, you'll forget my name |
| [03:11.70] |
I won't be here in another year |
| [03:14.38] |
If I don't stay on the charts |
