You sing you’re way from coast to coast
Sometimes you freeze sometimes you roast
‘Neath canvas skies and coloured lights
You watch the loves, you watch the fights
You’re up for sale sometimes they buy
But if they won’t you don’t ask why
Sometimes you laugh sometimes you cry
‘Cause you are an entertainer,
You know that you have got just what it takes
Yes, you are an entertainer
Someday you’ll get the breaks
A smiling face amongst the crowd
Can make you feel a little better;
Can make you feel it’s all worthwhile
A life times work for just a smile
Your night is day your day is night
You live by artificial light
But someday soon it’s gonna be all right
‘Cause you are an entertainer etc. . . .
Forget the year that you were born
If it ain’t there it won’t concern,
You’re getting younger every day.
A girl she told you yesterday
That if you comb your hair back far
You’ll look a lot like Ringo Starr
But you know who you really are
Yes you are an entertainer etc. . . . |
