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
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
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
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
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
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
