I am the [A] entertainer, know just where I stand, another [E] serenader, another [B] long-haired man.
[E] Today I am your champion, [A] I may have won your heart, but I know the [E] game, you'll forget my name.
I won't be here in another [B] year if I don't stay [E] on the job.
I am the entertainer, have to pay my price, things I didn't know at first, I [B] learned by doing twice.
[E] But still they come to haunt me, still they want their say, so I learn to [B] dance with a
[A] hand in my face, rub my [B] neck, just ride in my chair, and they'll go on [E] their way.
I am the entertainer, I've been all around the world, I've played all kinds of places,
played [B] all kinds of girls, [E] can't remember faces, [A] I don't remember names, what the [B] hell
it's just as well, after a while and a thousand miles it all becomes [E] the same.
I [B] am the [A] entertainer, I come to do my show, [E] you heard my latest record spin [B] on the radio.
[E] Well it took me years to write [A] it, the best years of my life, it's a beautiful [B] song but
it ran too long, if you want to have a hit you got to make it fit, so they cut [E] it down to 305.
I am the entertainer, the idol of my age, make all kinds of funny voices when I [B] go on
stage, [E] first see me in the paper, then in the magazine, if I go [B] cold I'll [E] eat this soul,
put me in the back in a discount bag like [E] another can of beer.
I am the [A] entertainer, I know just where I stand, another [E] simulator and another [B] long-haired
man, [E] today I am your champ, [A] I may have won your heart, but I know the [B] game you'll forget
[A] for me, and I won't be [B] here in another year if I don't [E] stay on the champ.
I am the entertainer.
