You're the entertainer, the entertainer
You're the entertainer, the entertainer

You made 'em laugh, and you left 'em feelin' glad
You made 'em cry, and you left 'em feelin' sad
They've seen you perform in so many plays
But they're not to know you're unhappy today

So they'll never know, go on with the show
'Cause, You're the entertainer, the entertainer
You're the entertainer, the entertainer

The curtain's up, and your audience is waiting out there
Now walk on stage, boy, like you don't have a care
And don't let 'em know that you're feelin' so low
Since your girl put you down, you're a sad-hearted clown

But the show must go on, go on and on
'Cause, You're the entertainer, the entertainer
You're the entertainer, the entertainer, yeah

{instrumental}
Now hear that applause, now you know you made the grade
You fooled them well, for the money they paid
Now walk off in style, and don't forget to smile
Though your heart tells you, "frown" you can't let the people down

Sure your one girl has gone, but you've got to walk on
When, You're the entertainer, tell yourself
(the entertainer)
You're the entertainer, you know, you can do it
(the entertainer)
You're the entertainer, walk on, in style now
(the entertainer)
You're the entertainer, come on, in style now
(the entertainer)
You're the entertainer, come on, in style now
(the entertainer)
