Billy Joel – The Entertainer Lyrics  Share

From Billy Joel's album: Streetlife Serenade

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 doin^, twice
Ah, 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
Ah, 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
I can^,t stay that long
No, I^,ve got to meet expenses
I got to stay in line
[ The Entertainer lyrics from

Gotta 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 come to do my show
You^,ve heard my latest record
It^,s been on the radio
Ah, it took me years to write it
They were the best years of my life
It was a beautiful song
But it ran too long
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
Ah, you^,ve seen me in the papers
I^,ve been in the magazines
But if I go cold I won^,t get sold
I^,ll get put in the back in the 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
