The Entertainer

A round of applause
For the man up in front,
Who impresses us
With jokes and with stunts,
The greatest of comics,
The bringer of joy,
How does it feel
To be like a toy?

You make us laugh
And feel like we're high,
But in the secret
You only cry,
For you see you are used,
And that we will soon,
Have a new man
Play the role of bafoon.

You're replaceable man
You know what you see
You wish you were clever,
Not witty, like me,
For soon the day ends,
And you go away,
But as for me son
I'm here to stay.
