Song lyrics
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 knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"
La la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
[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 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 some place 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 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
[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 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 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 doing here?"
Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
[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 feeling alright
