Piano Man Lyrics

It's nine o' clock on a saturdayThe regular crowd shuffles in

There's an old man sitting next to me

Makin' love to his tonic and gin.

He says, "Son can you play me a memory?

I'm not really sure how it goes,

But it's sad and it's sweetAnd I knew it complete

When I wore a younger man's clothes"



Da da da da de de daDa da de de da da

Sing us a song you're the piano man,

Sing us a song tonight.

Well, we're all in the mood for a melody.

And you've got us feelin' alright.



Now John at the bar is a friend of mine

He gets me my drinks for free

And he's quick with a joke

Or to light up your smokeBut there's someplace that he'd rather be.

He says "Bill, I believe this is killing me,"

As a smile ran away from his face.

"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star

If I could get out of this place."



Da da ...

Sing us a song you're the piano man,

Sing us a song tonight.

Well, we're all in the mood for a melody.

And you've got us feelin' alright.



Now Paul is a realestate novelist,

Who never had time for a wife.

And he,s talking with Davy

Who's still in the navyAnd probably will be for life.

And the waitress is practicing politics

As the buissnessman slowly gets stoned

Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness

But it's better than drinking alone.



INSTRUMENTAL

Sing us a song, you're the piano man,

Sing us a song tonight.

Well we're all in the mood for a melody.

And you've got us feelin' alright.



It's a pretty good crowd for a saturday,And the manager gives me a smile.

'Cause he knows that it's meThat they've been coming to see.

To forget about life for a while.

And the piano sounds like a carneval

Ande the microphone smells like a beer.

And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar

And say "Man what are you doin' here ?"



Da da ..

Sing us a song ...
