Its nine o´clock on a saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
Theres an old man sitting next to me
Makin love to his tonic and gin

He says, son, can you play me a memory?
Im not really sure how it goes
But it´s sad and it´s sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger mans 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´ allright

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And hes quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But theres someplace that hed 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

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´ allright

Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And hes talkin´ with davy whos still in the navy
And probably will be for life

And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get´s stoned
Yes, they´re sharing a drink they call loneliness
But its better than drinkin´ alone

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´ allright

Its a pretty good crowd for a saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
´cause he knows that its 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´ allright
