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? sounds like memory, but should be melody?)

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

[Chorus]

 

La la la de de da

la la de de da da dum

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) 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

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 talking 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 drinking 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) 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 coming to see

To forget about life for awhile.

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?"

La la la de de da

la la de de da da dum

 

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) alright
