Letra 'The Entertainer'

I am the entertainer, and i know just where i stand,
Another serenader and another long-haired band
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

I am the entertainer and i ve had to pay my price,
The things i did not know at first i learned by doing twice
But still they come to haunt me,
Still they want their say,

So i ve learned to dance with a hand in my pants
I let em rub my neck and i write em a check
And they go their merry way

I am the entertainer, been all around the world,
I ve played all kinds of palaces and laid all kinds of girls
I can t remember faces, i don t remember names,
But what the hell, you know it s just as well
cause after a while and a thousand miles
It all becomes the same


I am the entertainer, i bring to you my songs,
I d like to spend a day or two, but i can t stay that long
I got to meet expenses, i got to stay in line,
Got to get those fees to the agencies
And i d love to stay but there s bills to pay
So i just don t have the time

I am the entertainer, i ve come to do my show,
You ve heard my latest record, it s been on the radio
It took me years to write it, they were the best years of my life,
If you re gonna have a hit you gotta make it fit
So they cut it down to 3:05

I am the entertainer, the idol of my age,
I make all kinds of money when i go on the stage
You see me in the papers, i ve been in the magazines,
But if i go cold, i won t get sold,
I get put in the back of a discount rack
Like another can of beans

I am the entertainer and i know just where i stand,
Another serenader and another long-haired band
Today i am your champion, i may have won your hearts,
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
