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
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
feel in 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 some place
that he'd rather be
da da da
da da da
He says Bill I believe
this is killing me
As a smile runaway from his face
Well I'm sure that I could
Be a movie star
If I could get out of this place

Now paul is a real estate
novelist
Who never had time for a wife
and he talkin' with davy
Who's still in navy and probably
will be for life

And the waitress is
practicing politics
As the bus'ness men slowly
get stoned
Yes they're sharing a drink
They call loneliness
But is better than drink in alone
da da da 
da da da 
Sing us a song you're
the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well,were on in the mood
for a melody and you've got us
feelin' alright

It's a pretty good crowd for
a saturday
And a manager give's me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me
They've been coming to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano 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 doing here? "
da da da
da da da
Sing us a song you're
the paino man
sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood
for a melody
And you've got us
feeling alright...[start]../song/8/8195.MID[stop]
