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
Oh oh la di da
la di da da
la da di da la la
Sing us a song you're a 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 a 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 oh la di da
la di da da
la da di da la la
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 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
Oh oh la di da
la di da da
la da di da
la da di da la la
Sing us a song you're a 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
that they've been coming to see
to forget about life for a while
And the piano sounds like a carnaval
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 oh la di da
la di da da
la da di da la la
Sing us a song you're a piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright |
