Lyrics
0:31It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
0:36The regular crowd shuffles in
0:39There's an old man sittin' next to me
0:43Makin' love to his tonic and gin
0:57He says "Son can you play me a memory
1:01I'm not really sure how it goes
1:06But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
1:10When I wore a younger man's clothes"
1:14La la-la di-dee-da
1:19La-la di-dee-da da-dum
1:26Sing us a song you're the piano man
1:30Sing us a song tonight
1:34Well we're all in the mood for a melody
1:38And you've got us feeling alright
1:57Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
2:01He gets me my drinks for free
2:05And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
2:08But there's someplace that he'd rather be
2:14He says "Bill I believe this is killing me"
2:19As the smile ran away from his face
2:23"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
2:27If I could get out of this place"
2:31Oh la la-la di-dee-da
2:36La-la di-dee-da da-dum
2:43Now Paul is a real estate novelist
2:47Who never had time for a wife
2:51And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the Navy
2:55And probably will be for life
3:09And the waitress is practicing politics
3:13As the businessmen slowly get stoned
3:17Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
3:21But it's better than drinkin' alone
3:41Sing us a song you're the piano man
3:45Sing us a song tonight
3:49Well we're all in the mood for a melody
3:53And you've got us feeling alright
4:11It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
4:15And the manager gives me a smile
4:19'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
4:23To forget about life for a while
4:29And the piano it sounds like a carnival
4:33And the microphone smells like a beer
4:37And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
4:41And say "Man what are you doin' here"
4:44Oh la la-la di-dee-da
4:50La-la di-dee-da da-dum
4:57Sing us a song you're the piano man
5:01Sing us a song tonight
5:04Well we're all in the mood for a melody
5:09And you've got us feeling alright
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday The regular crowd shuffles in There's an old man sittin' 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 di-dee-da La-la di-dee-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" Oh la la-la di-dee-da La-la di-dee-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 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 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 di-dee-da La-la di-dee-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
