VERNON
Oh ho they’re playing my song
Oh yeah they’re playing my song
And when they’re playing my song
Every body’s got to
Sh Sh Sh
Don’t say a word now
Listen to that sweet melody
I’m happy to say
In my own humble way
Every perfect note of that was written by my
Oh ho they’re playing my song
That table’s humming along
That couple half out the door
Is comin’ back to hear more of my music
At first I thought this place was a dive
I chose it in haste but
They show they’ve go taste
As long as they’re playing my song
Who would have known
Nine months ago
That I would give birth at my piano
In all honesty
I’ve got to admit
I knew this song would be an international hit
Oh ho they’re playin’ my tune
Too bad it’s ending so soon
But then we all got to go
It’s good to know that they’ll be playin’
Oh God I’m prayin’
They’ll be playin’

You're the entertainer, the entertainer
You're the entertainer, the entertainer
You made 'em laugh, and you left 'em feelin' glad
You made 'em cry, and you left 'em feelin' sad
They've seen you perform in so many plays
But they're not to know you're unhappy today
So they'll never know, go on with the show
'Cause, You're the entertainer, the entertainer
You're the entertainer, the entertainer
The curtain's up, and your audience is waiting out there
Now walk on stage, boy, like you don't have a care
And don't let 'em know that you're feelin' so low
Since your girl put you down, you're a sad-hearted clown
But the show must go on, go on and on
Cause, You're the entertainer, the entertainer
You're the entertainer, the entertainer, yeah
[Instrumental Interlude]
Now hear that applause, now you know you made the grade
You fooled them well, for the money they paid
Now walk off in style, and don't forget to smile
Though your heart tells you, "frown" you can't let the people down
Sure your one girl has gone, but you've got to walk on
When, You're the entertainer, tell yourself
(The entertainer)
You're the entertainer, you know, you can do it
(The entertainer)
You're the entertainer, walk on, in style now
(The entertainer)
You're the entertainer, come on, in style no
(The entertainer)
You're the entertainer, come on, in style now

I play a C
You get a C
That’s simple
That’s easy
But there was you
And there was me
Not so simple
Not easy
I’m never quite able to say what I feel
I know that sounds absurd
The only way you can hear me
Is to listen to my song without words
(melody)
That’s what I’m saying right now
And I’m writing this love song just for you to fill in the words
You were everything good
I know you love me
I just couldn’t make us work out
And all I could do was leave it to you to fill in the words
Fill in the words
If I had the words
I’d have a song
And maybe it would tell me where I belong
With you I had the words for free
It’s just in loving you I was losing me
(melody)
Hoping you’ll understand
That until I can find those words for myself will you fill in the words
Fill in the words
(melody)
Fill in the words
(melody)
If I had the words
I’d have a song
And maybe it would tell me where I belong
With you and me I wasn’t sure
Was I less were you more?
(melody)
Hoping you’ll give me some time
If that kid on the coat rack wants to come back
wants one more try
Where will you be?
Will you still fill in the words?

I’m afraid to fly and I don’t know why
I’m jealous of the people who are not afraid to die.
It’s just that I recall, back when I was small,
Someone promised that they’d catch me.
Then they let me fall;
And now I’m fallin’,
Fallin’ fast again.
Why do I always take a fall when I fall in love?
You’d think by now I’d learn;
Play with fire you get burned,
But fire can be, oh so warm,
That’s why I return.
Turn and walk away,
That’s what I should do.
My head says go and find the door,
My heart says I found you;
And now I’m fallin’,
Fallin’ fast again.
Why do I always take a fall when I fall in love.
It always turns out the same.
Loving someone, losing myself,
Only got me to blame.
Help me, I’m fallin’,
Fallin’, catch me if you can.
Maybe this time I’ll have it all,
Maybe I’ll make it after all,

Famous quotes by Marvin Hamlisch:

"learned about listening to yourself. You know the punch line but it has to seem as if you're going to find it."

"Bill Cosby, you name it, I never knew who would be there; but it was wonderful,"

"A Chorus Line."

"I told her I'd be over in 10 minutes."

"I told her I didn't do that sort of thing."

"I would love to find other pop stars who would be willing to tour with our orchestra. One of the benefits of James Taylor was that he had orchestrations. Many stars do not. My wish list would be exceedingly long, and at the top of it would be Kenny G and Carly Simon. Of course, the cost of some of these artists might be prohibitive."

"I auditioned and was accepted to the Juilliard School of Music Preparatory Division at the age of six and a half."

"I think that when NASA works on a moon shot, they know too well that all of the people working on it must do their job at 110 percent. Sometimes they probably put in 18 hour days, but they're aiming for the moon, and that's what counts."

"I realized that as I was getting older, I had to prioritize what I really wanted to do in the world of music. I concluded that I wanted to use my time to write shows for Broadway. Since I already have a very extensive conducting career that takes me away from New York for most weekends, I decided that I would not pursue film scores any more."

"There have been studies that clearly state that children who are exposed to arts education at a young age will in fact do markedly better in their SAT tests."

"If I'm within reach and can be helpful, I have a tendency to say 'Yes.' It's hard to say 'No.'"

"I'm not one of those people who says, 'I never read reviews,' because I don't believe those people."

"I started studying music at the age of five and a half. My older sister was taking piano lessons. When her teacher left our apartment, I would get up on the piano bench and start picking out the notes that were part of my sister's lessons."

"The biggest thrill you can have is to tell people one of your songs, and have them be able to hum it."

"Normally I can balance two or three things. The problem is when you're out of work and don't have anything to balance. I think people assume you're always busy. You go through dry spells."

"As I get older, I'm slowing down and, yes, calming down in my desire to be taken seriously. That I can be entertaining and funny and high nervous energy can work against me as a serious composer, slowly but surely you'll see me be quieter just so that people will listen."

"Let's say music is needed for only 43 seconds of film. You have to score it so it is an entity, so it won't bother anyone when it ends so quickly. Or if a song runs 2 minutes and 45 seconds, but the titles run a minute longer, you have to arrange that song so it doesn't get repetitious."

"I have always thought of music as a highway with many lanes."
