Billy Joel – The Entertainer

Billy Joel – The Entertainer Lyrics

Artist: Billy Joel
Song: The Entertainer

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
I’m dressed in 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
Perspiration stains and varicose veins

My eyes look shot
My belly’s got a pot
And there’s a pimple on my nose
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
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
