Lyrics
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
And the regular crowd shuffles in
And 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?
Well, I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore your young man's clothes"
La la la la da da da
La la la la la da da
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
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
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
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, put bread in my jar
And say, "Man, what are you doing here?"
Oh, la la la la da da da
La la la la da da da da
Oh, 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
