Piano Man Lyric | Billy Joel |  |  | GREATEST HITS VOLUME 1 & II |  |
| | | | |
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 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, de de da La la, de de da da
da
Chorus:
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 feelin'
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, de de
da La la, de de da da da
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
Chorus
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, de de da La la, de de da da da
Chorus
