lirik lagu the entertainer (live 1977) – billy joel

daaaa-da-do-do-duh
d-d-de-de-de-de-de-deh-d-d-de-d-d-d-de-de-de-do, oh ho, yo ho

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, oh

i am the entertainer, i dress to fit the style
i wear all kinds of sparkles, i flash the crowd my smile
but when the night is over, and i stand without my clothes
the perspiration stains and varicous veins
my eyes look shot, my belly’s got a pot
and there’s a pimple on my nose, oh

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 h-ll, you know it’s just as well
’cause after a while and 1000 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, and i can’t stay that long
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
oh 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
you’ve seen me in the papers, i’ve been in the magazines
but if i go cold i won’t get sold
i get put in the back in a 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

(what? now we’ll get to that. i’ll get to that. i’ll get to that. i had to dedicate this song to, uh—bach? this is dedicated to, uh, christiano’s restaurant, or italian restaurant. it’s called, uh, “scenes from an italian restaurant”.) [all right!]
