entertainer
Tony Clarke Lyrics

You're the entertainer, the entertainer
The performer is the entertainer and is capable of performing well.

You made 'em laugh, and you left 'em feelin' glad
The performer has the ability to make the audience happy and make them laugh.

You made 'em cry, and you left 'em feelin' sad
The performer can also make the audience emotional and even cry through their performance.

They've seen you perform in so many plays
The audience has seen the performer in many productions.

But they're not to know you're unhappy today
The performer is currently unhappy, but they don't want the audience to know and affect their performance.

So they'll never know, go on with the show
The performer will hide their emotions and continue the performance as planned so the audience will never know.

The curtain's up, and your audience is waiting out there
The audience is eagerly waiting for the performer to take the stage as the curtain rises.

Now walk on stage, boy, like you don't have a care
The performer needs to enter the stage with confidence, despite their personal problems, and act like they don't have any worry or care in the world.

And don't let 'em know that you're feelin' so low
The performer shouldn't let the audience know how low they are feeling personally.

Since your girl put you down, you're a sad-hearted clown
The performer has been hurt and put down by their significant other, which has caused them to feel like a sad clown on the inside.

But the show must go on, go on and on
The performer must continue the show, no matter how bad they are feeling personally.

Now hear that applause, now you know you made the grade
Once the applause is heard, the performer knows they performed well and impressed the audience.

You fooled them well, for the money they paid
The audience paid to see a good show and the performer made sure to give them just that, despite their personal problems.

Now walk off in style, and don't forget to smile
The performer should leave the stage confidently, with their head held high and remember to smile for the audience.

Though your heart tells you, 'frown' you can't let the people down
Even though the performer may want to show how they are feeling on the inside and frown, they can't disappoint the audience who paid to see a good show.

Sure your one girl has gone, but you've got to walk on
Even though the performer has been hurt by their significant other leaving, they need to keep moving forward and perform well for the audience.

When, You're the entertainer, tell yourself (the entertainer)
The performer needs to remind themselves that they are the entertainer and capable of performing well, despite their problems.

You're the entertainer, you know, you can do it (the entertainer)
The performer is capable of performing well and needs to remind themselves of this fact to help boost their confidence.

You're the entertainer, walk on, in style now (the entertainer)
The performer should leave the stage with confidence, reminding themselves that they are the entertainer and rocked the show.

You're the entertainer, come on, in style now (the entertainer)
The performer should leave the stage gracefully and confidently, reminding themselves that they did a great job and are the entertainer.

You're the entertainer, come on, in style now (the entertainer)
Once again, the performer should leave the stage in style, walking away confidently as the entertainer.
