Текст песни: The Entertainer + перевод

I am the entertainer and I know just where I stand

Another serenader and another longhaired 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 doing twice

But still they come to haunt me, still they want their say

So I’ve learned to dance with a hand in my pants

And I rub my neck and I write em a check

And they go their merry way

I am the entertainer, I bring to you my songs

I’d like to spend a day or two but I can’t stay that long

I got to meet expenses, I got to stay in line

Got to 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’ve come to do my show

You’ve heard my latest record spin on the radio

It took me years to write it, they were the best years of my life

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 see me in the papers, I’ve been in the magazines

But if I go cold, I won’t get sold

I got 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 longhaired band

Today I am your champion,

I may have won your hearts

But I knew the game, you’ll forget my name

I won’t be here in another year

If I don’t stay on the charts.
