[00:16.67]I am the entertainer
[00:18.85]And I know just where I stand
[00:21.35]Another serenader
[00:23.55]And another long-haired band
[00:26.10]Today I am your champion
[00:28.17]I may have won your hearts
[00:30.48]But I know the game, you'll forget my name
[00:32.92]And I won't be here in another year
[00:35.79]If I don't stay on the charts
[00:41.60]I am the entertainer
[00:43.85]And I've had to pay my price
[00:46.17]The things I did not know at first
[00:48.47]I learned by doin' twice
[00:50.60]Ah, but still they come to haunt me
[00:52.92]Still they want their say
[00:55.40]So I've learned to dance with a hand in my pants
[00:57.64]I let 'em rub my neck and I write 'em a check
[00:59.84]And they go their merry way
[01:06.34]I am the entertainer
[01:08.71]Been all around the world
[01:10.96]I've played all kinds of palaces
[01:13.34]And laid all kinds of girls
[01:15.78]I can't remember faces
[01:17.90]I don't remember names
[01:20.46]Ah, but what the hell
[01:22.09]You know it's just as well
[01:23.89]'Cause after a while and a thousand miles
[01:25.93]It all becomes the same
[01:36.06]I am the entertainer
[01:38.43]I bring to you my songs
[01:41.06]I'd like to spend a day or two
[01:42.95]I can't stay that long
[01:45.38]No, I've got to meet expenses
[01:47.56]I got to stay in line
[01:50.00]Gotta get those fees to the agencies
[01:52.13]And I'd love to stay but there's bills to pay
[01:55.00]So I just don't have the time
[02:01.18]I am the entertainer
[02:03.06]I come to do my show
[02:05.43]You've heard my latest record
[02:07.76]It's been on the radio
[02:10.00]Ah, it took me years to write it
[02:12.12]They were the best years of my life
[02:14.62]It was a beautiful song
[02:15.87]But it ran too long
[02:17.06]If you're gonna have a hit
[02:18.62]You gotta make it fit
[02:19.62]So they cut it down to 3:05
[02:30.69]I am the entertainer
[02:32.50]The idol of my age
[02:34.81]I make all kinds of money
[02:37.00]When I go on the stage
[02:39.25]Ah, you've seen me in the papers
[02:41.69]I've been in the magazines
[02:43.87]But if I go cold I won't get sold
[02:46.31]I'll get put in the back in the discount rack
[02:49.00]Like another can of beans
[02:55.12]I am the entertainer
[02:57.19]And I know just where I stand
[02:59.50]Another serenader
[03:02.00]And another long-haired band
[03:04.69]Today I am your champion
[03:07.19]I may have won your hearts
[03:09.44]But I know the game, you'll forget my name
[03:11.69]I won't be here in another year
[03:14.37]If I don't stay on the charts
