Piano man

Billy Joel - Piano Man

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, it 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
