[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
