[Verse 1]
The weekend is back, but so is he
Head to the floodlights, see the fraternity, they're waiting
I hear them up in the north, down in the south
And all that is spewing, spewing out of his mouth is

[Chorus]
Entertain me
Entertain me
Entertain me
Entertain me

[Verse 2]
At his and her dating, bored minds agree
Requirements to be stated and replies awaited
She wants a loose fit, he wants Instant Whip
Guesstimates her arrival, will she want it really badly?

[Chorus]
Entertain me
Entertain me
Entertain me
Entertain me

[Bridge]
A car, a house, both in a street
The boredom of a sober week
The weekend's here, hip-hip-hooray
To make the blues just go away

[Chorus]
Entertain me (A car, a house, both in a street)
Entertain me (The boredom of a sober week)
Entertain me (The weekend's here, hip-hip-hooray)
Entertain me (To make the blues just go away)
Entertain me (A car, a house, both in a street)
Entertain me (The boredom of a sober week)
Entertain me (The weekend's here, hip-hip-hooray)
Entertain me (To make the blues just go away)
Entertain me
Entertain me
Entertain me
Entertain

Blur

British rock group Blur formed in 1988 and began life as a fairly unsuccessful shoegaze/madchester outfit, but the band quickly developed into becoming one of the leaders of the massive 1990s Britpop scene.

Their rivalry with contemporaries Oasis culminated in one of the most famous chart battles in British history – one which Blur won when “Country House” outsold Oasis’s “Roll With It” by 50,000 copies, giving Blur their first #1 single in the process.

Following this, the group embarked on a new musical direction, deliberately heading away from their trademark Britpop sound and instead taking influences from American alternative rock, a sound which earned them new fans in the US and gave them their second UK #1: “Beetlebum” in 1997.
