[00:01.109]This is called The Entertainer
[00:54.931]I am the entertainer
[00:56.798]And I know just where I stand
[00:59.125]Another serenader
[01:01.482]And another long-haired band
[01:03.981]Today, I am your champion
[01:06.250]I may have won your hearts
[01:08.620]But I know the game, you'll forget my name
[01:11.237]And I won't be here in another year
[01:13.463]If I don't stay on the charts
[01:19.561]I am the entertainer
[01:21.586]And I dress to fit the style
[01:23.955]I wear all kinds of sparkles
[01:26.288]I flash the crowd my smile
[01:28.750]But when the night is over
[01:30.764]And I stand without my clothes
[01:33.055]Perspiration stains and varicose veins
[01:35.516]My eyes look shot
[01:36.631]My belly's got a pot
[01:37.736]And there's a pimple on my nose
[01:43.649]I am the entertainer
[01:45.860]Been all around the world
[01:48.217]I've played all kinds of palaces
[01:50.380]And laid all kinds of girls
[01:52.717]I can't remember faces
[01:54.920]I don't remember names
[01:57.283]Ah, but what the hell
[01:58.315]You know it's just as well
[01:59.563]Cause after a while and a thousand miles
[02:01.813]It all becomes the same
[02:12.214]I am the entertainer
[02:14.422]I bring to you my songs
[02:16.843]I'd like to spend a day or two
[02:19.152]But I can't stay that long
[02:21.289]No, I've got to meet expenses
[02:23.530]I got to stay in line
[02:26.004]Gotta get those fees to the agencies
[02:27.868]And I'd love to stay but there's bills to pay
[02:30.698]So I just don't have the time
[02:36.704]I am the entertainer
[02:38.721]I come to do my show
[02:40.961]You've heard my latest record
[02:43.107]It's been on the radio
[02:45.427]Ah, it took me years to write it
[02:47.620]They were the best years of my life
[02:49.977]It was a beautiful song, but it ran too long
[02:52.121]If you're gonna have a hit
[02:53.507]You gotta make it fit
[02:54.596]So they cut it down to 3:05
[03:05.276]I am the entertainer
[03:07.123]The idol of my age
[03:09.423]I make all kinds of money
[03:11.611]When I go on the stage
[03:13.844]Ah, you've seen me in the papers
[03:15.983]I've been in the magazines
[03:18.293]But if I go cold, I won't get sold
[03:20.448]I'll get put in the back in the discount rack
[03:22.929]Like another can of beans
[03:28.786]I am the entertainer
[03:30.941]And I know just where I stand
[03:33.449]Another serenader
[03:35.673]And another long-haired band
[03:38.256]Today, I am your champion
[03:40.324]I may have won your hearts
[03:42.620]But I know the game and you'll forget my name
[03:45.110]I won't be here in another year
[03:47.285]If I don't stay on the charts
