The Entertainer - Ray Conniff

作曲：Scott Joplin/J. GLADSTONE/F. Bock

La la la-la la-la la-la

Hey Mr Joplin we're singing your song

La la la-la la-la la-la

And we're happy to say it's growing strong

La la la-la la-la la-la

Today the Shag and the Charleston are gone

So's the Varsity Drag but like the Maple Leaf Rag

The Entertainer goes on and goes on

Back in the olden days

They called the golden days

Way before the birth of rock'n roll

There was a music man who had piano hands

And lots of syncopation in his soul

They came from miles around

From every state and town

People came to listen to him play

And that's why even though he died a long time ago

His music lives on to this day

La la la-la la-la la-la

Hey Mr Joplin we're singing your song

La la la-la la-la la-la

And we're happy to say it's growing strong

La la la-la la-la la-la

The Entertainer's so old it sounds new

Way ahead of its time it's only reaching its prime

And we're just adding a rhyme about you

Listen to the beat

It's nice to generations

Listen to the beat

And catch the syncopations

Once a million feet

We're feelin' new vibrations

All across this land

Back in ninety-four

The style was something new that

People yelled for more

And he would sock it to him

Night after night he would give his all

At every two-step strutter's ball

La la la-la la-la la-la

Hey Mr Joplin we're singing your song

La la la-la la-la la-la

And we're happy to say it's growing strong

La la la-la la-la la-la

Today the Shag and the Charleston are gone

So's the Varsity Drag but like the Maple Leaf Rag

The Entertainer goes on and goes on

Yes we'll sing it again we'll sing it over again

And we'll be singing it anytime strong

Yeah
