Piano Man

Piano Man Lyrics
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The 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 sweet
and I knew it complete
When I wore
a younger man's clothes"
La la la, de de da
La la, de de da da dum
Chorus:
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 smoke
But there's someplace
that he'd rather be
He says, "bill,
I believe this is killing me."
As the 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"
Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da dum
Now Paul is
a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy,
who's still in the navy
And probably will be for life
And the waitress is
practicing politics
As the businessmen
slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink
they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone
Chorus
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 got us feeling alright
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that
it's me they've been comin' to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano,
sounds like a carnival
And 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."
Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da dum
Chorus:
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 got us
feeling alright
The Regular crowd shuffles in

"Son, can you play me a memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet
and I knew it complete
When I wore
