[00:23.78]It''''s nine oclock on a saturday
[00:28.40]The regular crowd shuffles in
[00:31.78]There''''s an old man sitting next to me
[00:36.40]Makin love to his tonic and gin
[00:39.53]
[00:50.84]He says, son, can you play me a memory?
[00:55.03]I''''m not really sure how it goes
[00:58.75]But it''''s sad and it''''s sweet and I knew it complete
[01:03.60]When I wore a younger man''''s clothes
[01:07.19]
[01:08.10]La la la...
[01:19.66]
Chorus:
[01:20.35]Sing us a song, you''''re the piano man
[01:24.62]Sing us a song tonight
[01:28.19]Well, we''''re all in the mood for a melody
[01:32.94]And you''''ve got us feelin'''' alright
[01:36.69]
[01:51.57]Now john at the bar is a friend of mine
[01:56.28]He gets me my drinks for free
[01:59.56]And he''''s quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
[02:04.16]But there''''s someplace that hed rather be
[02:10.28]He says, bill, I believe this is killing me.
[02:14.21]As the smile ran away from his face
[02:18.34]Well I''''m sure that I could be a movie star
[02:22.56]If I could get out of this place
[02:26.85]
[02:27.76]La la la...
[02:39.25]
[02:39.69]Now paul is a real estate novelist
[02:43.42]Who never had time for a wife
[02:47.61]And he''''s talkin'''' with davy who''''s still in the navy
[02:52.14]And probably will be for life
[02:56.64]
[03:15.25]And the waitress is practicing politics
[03:19.04]As the businessmen slowly get stoned
[03:23.26]Yes, they''''re sharing a drink they call loneliness
[03:27.36]But it''''s better than drinkin'''' alone
[03:31.80]
Chorus
[03:48.99]Sing us a song, you''''re the piano man
[03:53.14]Sing us a song tonight
[03:56.80]Well, we''''re all in the mood for a melody
[04:01.48]And you''''ve got us feelin'''' alright
[04:05.46]
[04:20.21]It''''s a pretty good crowd for a saturday
[04:24.17]And the manager gives me a smile
[04:28.18]cause he knows that it''''s me they''''ve been comin'''' to see
[04:32.62]To forget about life for a while
[04:38.61]And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
[04:42.74]And the microphone smells like a beer
[04:46.93]And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
[04:51.30]And say, man, what are you doin'''' here?
[04:55.37]
[04:56.24]La la la...
[05:07.96]
