An Entertainer

from Salesmen (2021) by Benjamin Lee Farley

lyrics

Another night of skulling, doing spit takes for the crowd
All I need's a night of sleep but everything's so loud
Barkers got to do their job but all they do is shout
I could pratfall into bed, make Rip Van Winkle proud

I'm an entertainer

I used to have a partner, man the laughs we used to get
Have em rolling in the aisles, all their pants were pissed and wet
He gave up the circuit - funniest man I ever met
Last I heard he lost his shirt, placed one too many bets

He's an entertainer

Now I go up solo, cracking jokes and mugging hard
It's a decent living but I got no calling card
Just another hack hoisted by his own petard
Maybe I'll retire too, get a place with a backyard

I'm an entertainer

But all I know is slapstick, powderpuffs and rolling eyes
Reaching for the funny even when the laughter dies
Radio and movies will be all of our demise
Maybe I could be an actor, paid for telling lies

I'm an entertainer

Never took a lesson in my life. All songs written, played, sung/sang/sing-ed, produced, computerized / all album covers made by Ben unless otherwise noted.
NONE of my sounds are made with Artificial Intelligence, just a few album covers. Is anybody reading this? If so thank you. If not, then I guess I can say whatever I want because you'll never read it. So fuck you I guess? Just kidding madluv.
