[00:30]It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
[00:36]The regular crowd shuffles in
[00:38]There's an old man sitting next to me
[00:43]Makin' love to his tonic and gin
[00:57]He says, "Son, can you play me a melody?
[01:02]I'm not really sure how it goes
[01:05]But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
[01:09]When I wore a younger man's clothes"
[01:14]La la la, de de da
[01:19]La la, de de da da da
Chorus:
[04:57][03:41][01:26]Sing us a song, you're the piano man
[05:00][03:45][01:30]Sing us a song tonight
[05:05][03:49][01:34]Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
[05:08][03:53][01:38]And you've got us feelin' alright
[01:56]Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
[02:00]He gets me my drinks for free
[02:04]And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
[02:08]But there's someplace that he'd rather be
[02:14]He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."
[02:18]As the smile ran away from his face
[02:22]"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
[02:26]If I could get out of this place"
[02:32]Oh, la la la, de de da
[02:35]La la, de de da da da
[02:42]Now Paul is a real estate novelist
[02:47]Who never had time for a wife
[02:51]And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the navy
[02:55]And probably will be for life
[03:08]And the waitress is practicing politics
[03:13]As the businessmen slowly get stoned
[03:17]Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
[03:21]But it's better than drinkin' alone
Chorus
[04:11]It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
[04:15]And the manager gives me a smile
[04:19]'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
[04:23]To forget about life for a while
[04:29]And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
[04:33]And the microphone smells like a beer
[04:37]And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
[04:41]And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"
[04:45]Oh, la la la, de de da
[04:50]La la, de de da da da
Chorus
