Country Joe McDonald - Entertainment Is My Business

I'm flyin' in a silver bird zoom across the sky
Lookin' out the window it surely flyin' high.
Had to leave this morning to go and play and to sing,
So glad to be here — watch me do my thing.
Entertainment is my business, I want you to know
That I'm tryin to be a success, to give you a very fine show.
If you think you're ready, if you think you can,

Let me hear you clap your hands!
Are you ready ? Yeah!

I traveled to Chicago, I went to Memphis, too,
Saw Mr. B.B. King — learned to play the blues.
Went to Detroit City just to get the Who
I come to play the hoedown just to play for you.
