I am the entertainer,i know just where i stand
Another serenader,another long-haired man
Today i am your champion,i may have won your hearts
But i know the game,you'll forget my name
And i won't be here in another year
If i don't stay on the charts
Verse 2:
I am the entertainer,i've had to pay my price
The things i did not know at first,i learned by doin' twice
Ah,but still they come to haunt me,still they want their say
So i've learned to dance with a hand in my pants
Just rub my neck and i write'em a check
And they go on their way
Verse 3:
I am the entertainer,been all around the world
I've played all kinds of places,i've laid all kind of girls
I can't remember faces,i don't remember names
Ah,but what the hell,it's just as well
'Cause after a while and a thousand miles
It all becomes the same
Verse 4:
I am the entertainer,i come to do my show
You've heard my latest record,it's been on the radio
Ah,it took me years to write it,the best years of my life
It's a beautiful song,but it ran too long
If you wanna have a hit,you gotta make it fit
So they cut it down to 3:05
Verse 5:
I am the entertainer,the idol of my age
I make all kinds of money,when i go on the stage
Ah,you've seen me in the papers,i've been in the magazines
But if i go cold my future gets sold
They'll put in the back in the discount rack
Like another can of beans
Verse 1.
