Dolly Parton

The Entertainer
I am the entertainer And I know just where I stand Another serenader In another traveling band Today, I am your champion And 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 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 Let 'em rub my neck, and I write 'em a check And they go their merry way I am the entertainer I've been all around the world I've played all kinds of palaces Not bad for a country girl I can't remember faces Letras de cancionesAnd I don't remember names Ah, but what the hell It's just as well 'Cause after a while and a thousand miles It all becomes the same It all becomes the same I am the entertainer And I bring to you my songs I'd like to spend a day or two But 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 Yes, I am the entertainer And 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 And if you're gonna have a hit You gotta make it fit So they cut it down to 3:05 And that hurt me Just 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 In 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 The entertainer The entertainer The entertainer 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 From Letras Mania
