Billy Joel, The Entertainer, from Streetlife Serenade (1974).
“
I am the entertainer and I know just where I stand, Another serenader and 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.
