[Chorus:]
I am the entertainer
I know just where I stand
Another serenader
Another long haired man

[Verse 1:]
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

[Chorus]

[Outro:]
I am the entertainer
