It's nine o'clock on a saturday
2
the regular crowd shuffles in
3
There's an old man sitting next to me
4
making love to his tonic and gin
5
He says, son can you play me a memory
6
I'm not really sure how it goes
7
But it's sad and it's sweet
8
and I knew it complete
9
When I wore a younger man's clothes
10
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
11
Sing us a song tonight
12
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
13
and you've got us feeling alright
14
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
15
he gets me my drinks for free
16
and he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
17
but there's someplace that he'd rather be
18
He says, Bill I believe this is killing me
19
As a smile ran away from his face
20
Well i'm sure that I could be a movie star
21
if I could get out of this place
22
Sing us a song, you're the piano man

Sing us a song tonight

well were all in the mood for a melody

and you've got us feeling all right

Now Paul is a real estate novelist
27
who never had time for a wife
28
and he's talking to Davy who's still in the Navy
29
and probably will be for life
30
And the waitress is practicing politics
31
as the buisnessmen slowly get stoned
32
yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
33
but its better than drinking alone
34
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
35
Sing us a song tonight

37
and you've got us feeling alright

It's a pretty good crowd for a saturday
39
and the manager gives me a smile
40
'cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see
41
to forget about life for a while
42
And the piano sounds like a carnival
43
and the microphone smells like a beer
44
and they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
45
and say, man what are you doing here?
46
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
47
Sing us a song tonight
48
well we're all in the mood for a melody
49
and you've got us feeling alright
