빌리 조엘
It's nine o'clock
on a Saturday
The regular crowd
shuffles in
There's an old man
sitting next to me
Making 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 know it complete
When I wore a
younger man's clothes
Da da da di di da
da da di di da 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
feeling all right
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 some place
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 da di di da
da da di di da da da
Now Paul is
a realestate novelist
Who never had time
for a wife
And he's talking with
Davy who's still
in the Navy
And probably will
be for life
And the waitress
is practicing politics
As the business men
slowly get stoned
Yes they're
sharing a drink
they call loneliness
But it's better
than drinkin' alone
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
feeling all right
It's a pretty good
crowd for a Saturday
And the manager
gives me a smile
Cause he know
that it's me
they've been
coming 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 Da da da di di da
da da di di da 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
feeling all right
