It's nine o'clock on a saturday
the regular shuffles in
there's an old man next to me
makin' love to his tonic and gin
he say, son can you play me a memory
i'm not sure how it goes
but it's sad and it's and i knew it complete
when i wore a younger man's clothes
da da da de de da
da da de de da da da
sing us a song, you're the piano man
sing us a 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 with a or to light up your smoke
but there's that he'd rather be
he says bill, i this is killing me
as the smile ran away his face
well i'm sure that i could be a movie star
if i could get out of place
us a song, you're the man
sing us a song tonight
well, we're all in the mood for a melody
and you've got us feelin' alright
now is a real novelist
who never had time for a wife
and he's talking with davy who's in the navy
and probably will be for life
and the waitress is practicing politics
as the get stoned
yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
but it's better than alone
it's a pretty good crowd for a saturday,
and the manager gives me a smile
'cause he 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 like a beer
and they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
and say "man, what are you doin' here?"
da da da de de da
da da de de da da da
sing us a song, you're the piano man
us a song tonight.
well, we're all in the mood for a melody
and you've got us feelin' alright.
