Piano Man - Dco

It’s nine oclock 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 mans 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, were all in the mood for a melody

And youve 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 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 Now paul is a real estate novelist

Who never had time for a wife

And he’s 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 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 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 Chorus
