Joel Billy - The Entertainer Lyrics
I am the entertainerAnd I know just where I standAnother serenaderAnd another long-haired bandToday I am your championI may have won your heartsBut I know the game, youll forget my nameAnd I wont be here in another yearIf I dont stay on the chartsI am the entertainerAnd Ive had to pay my priceThe things I did not know at firstI learned by doin twiceAh, but still they come to haunt meStill they want their saySo Ive learned to dance with a hand in my pantsI let em rub my neck and I write em a checkAnd they go their merry wayI am the entertainerBeen all around the worldIve played all kinds of palacesAnd laid all kinds of girlsI cant remember facesI dont remember namesAh, but what the hellYou know its just as wellcause after a while and a thousand milesIt all becomes the sameI am the entertainerI bring to you my songsId like to spend a day or twoI cant stay that longNo, Ive got to meet expensesI got to stay in lineGotta get those fees to the agenciesAnd Id love to stay but theres bills to paySo I just dont have the timeI am the entertainerI come to do my showYouve heard my latest recordIts been on the radioAh, it took me years to write itThey were the best years of my lifeIt was a beautiful songBut it ran too longIf youre gonna have a hitYou gotta make it fitSo they cut it down to 3:05I am the entertainerThe idol of my ageI make all kinds of moneyWhen I go on the stageAh, youve seen me in the papersIve been in the magazinesBut if I go cold I wont get soldIll get put in the back in the discount rackLike another can of beansI am the entertainerAnd I know just where I standAnother serenaderAnd another long-haired bandToday I am your championI may have won your heartsBut I know the game, youll forget my nameI wont be here in another yearIf I dont stay on the charts
