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. 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 all feelin’ all right Now John at the bar is a friend of mine He gets me my drinks for free And he’s quick with a joke and he’ll light up your smoke But there’s some place that he’d rather be He says, Bill, I believe this is killing me. As his 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 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 businessman slowly gets stoned Yes, they’re sharing a drink they call loneliness But it’s better than drinkin’ 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 got us all 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 comin’ to see To forget about their 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? 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 got us all feeling alright
