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 heart But I know the game you'll forget my name I won't be here in another year If I don't stay on the charts I am the entertainer had to pay my price Things I didn't know at first I learned by doing twice But still they come to haunt me still they want their say So I learn to dance with my hands in my pants Rub my neck and just write 'em a check and they'll be on their way I am the entertainer I've been all around the world I played all kinds of places played all kinds of girls I don't remember faces I don't remember names What the hell it's just as well cause after a while and a thousand miles It all becomes the same I am the entertainer I come to do my show You heard my latest record spin on the radio Well it took me years to write it the best years of my life It's a beautiful song but it ran too long wanna have a hit you gotta make it fit So they cut it down to 3:05 I am the entertainer Idol of my age Make all kinds of money boy when I go on the stage They see me in the paper and in the magazines If I go cold my feet get sore put me in the back of the discount rack like another can of beans I am the entertainer know just where I stand... I am the entertainer
