🎤Lyrics: Billy Joel - Piano Man

[Verse 1]
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sittin' 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"

[Refrain]
La, la-la, di-dee-da
La-la, di-dee-da da-dum

[Chorus]
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' alright

[Verse 2]
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"

[Refrain]
Oh, la, la-la, di-dee-da
La-la, di-dee-da da-dum

[Verse 3]
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy, who's 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

[Piano Solo]

[Chorus]
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' alright

[Verse 4]
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?"

[Refrain]
Oh, la, la-la, di-dee-da
La-la, di-dee-da da-dum

[Chorus]
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' alright

Love this song, brings back fond memories. About 1974 Just met a life long companion. I wish I had left that crap alone.

Pues, ahí te vas a quedar, y como tengo una de las cámaras cerca, si me roban la foto. Sabremos quien.😂😂😂😂😂🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😘😘😘

The idea that the piano man is an attractive yet dumb man playing in a gay bar but being completely oblivious makes this song 1000% better

[AAABALLAAA]
