It's nine o'clock
on a Saturday,
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 melody?
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 di di da,
la la la di di di da dum.
Sing us a song
you're the pianoman,
sing us a song tonight.
We are 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 drink 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 beleive this is killing me",
as the smile ran away
from his face.
"Bill I'm sure that I could be
a movie star,
if I could get out of this place".
La la la di di di da,
la la la di di di da dum.
Now Paul is a real estate novelist,
who never had time for his wife.
And he's talking with Davey
who's still in the Navy,
and probably will be for life.
And the waitress is
practicing politics,
as the business men
slowly get stoned.
Yes they're sharing a drink
they call loneliness,
but its better than drinking alone.
Sing us a song
you're the pianoman,
sing us a song tonight.
We are all in the mood
for a melody,
and you've got us
feeling alright.
La la la di di di da,
la la la di di di da dum.
It's a pretty good crowd
for a Saturday,
and the manager
gives me a smile.
'Cause he knows 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 they put bread in my jar
and say:
"Man what are you doing here?".
Sing us a song
you're the pianoman,
sing us a song tonight.
We are all in the mood
for a melody,
and you've got us
feeling alright.
