Billy Joel - The Entertainer слова песни
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
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
