Piano Man lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics 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 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 a smoke but 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." La la la de de da La la de de da da da 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 feelin 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 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?" La la la de de da La la de de 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 feelin alright. song lyrics
