Artist : Billy Joel 
Title : Piano Man 
----------------- 

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday 
The regular crowd shuffles in 
There's an old man sitting next to me 
Making 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 lad'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 a 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 awhile 
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
