Let Me Entertain You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hell is gone and heaven's here
There's nothing left for you to fear
Shake your ass come over here
Now scream
I'm a burning effigy
Of everything I used to be

You're my rock of empathy, my dear

[Chorus]
So come on, let me entertain you
Let me entertain you

[Verse 2]
Life's too short for you to die
So grab yourself an alibi
Heaven knows your mother lied, mon cher
Separate your right from wrongs
Come and sing a different song
The kettle's on, so don't be long, mon cher

[Chorus]
So come on, let me entertain you
Let me entertain you

[Verse 3]
Look me up in the Yellow Pages
I will be your rock of ages
You see through fads and your crazy phrases, yeah
Little Bo Peep has lost his sheep
He popped a pill and fell asleep
The dew is wet but the grass is sweet, my dear
[Bridge]
Your mind gets burned with the habits you've learned
But we're the generation that's got to be heard
You're tired of your teachers and your school's a drag
You're not going to end up like your mum and dad

[Chorus]
So come on, let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you

[Bridge]
He may be good he may be out of sight
But he can't be here so come around tonight
Here is the place where the feeling grows
You gotta get high before you taste the lows

[Chorus]
Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
So come on, let me entertain you
Let me entertain you

[Outro]
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on

Genius Annotation

From Rob’s website:

“Described by Robbie as a ‘party anthem’, Let Me Entertain You climbed to No.3 in the spring of 1998, during the post-Angels whirlwind. The song soon became his signature gig-opener.

Inspired by the Rolling Stones film Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus, Robbie said: “We watched Rock Circus and after that we went and recorded Let Me Entertain You. "When we started writing the demo there was a furious jungle beat underneath it. It was so hardcore it got me very excited, and I still get excited listening to it now. It’s not really heavy metal, it’s more like camp rock opera!”"

Genius Answer

On his website, Robbie wrote:

We were round Guy’s house watching the Rock ‘n' Roll circus with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and were quite inspired and went upstairs and wrote a Who-esque type song. I’m really proud of the video. Let Me Entertain You is the best video I’ve ever done I think.
