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

La la la de de da

La la de de da 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

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

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

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

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
