Piano Man
[00:15.50] It′s nine o'clock on a Saturday
[00:30.41] The regular crowd shuffles in
[00:34.36] There′s an old man sittin' next to me
[00:38.59] Makin' love to his tonic and gin
[00:42.54] He says, "Son can you play me a memory?
[00:56.91] I′m not really sure how it goes
[01:00.84] But it′s sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
[01:05.63] When I wore a younger man′s clothes"
[01:09.58] La, la-la, di-di-da
[01:14.37] La-la di-di-da da-dum
[01:19.44] Sing us a song, you're the piano man
[01:25.92] Sing us a song tonight
[01:29.58] Well, we′re all in the mood for a melody
[01:33.80] And you've got us feelin′ alright
[01:37.74] Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
[01:56.05] He gets me my drinks for free
[01:59.72] And he's quick with a joke, or to light up your smoke
[02:04.23] But there's some place that he′d rather be
[02:07.89] He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
[02:14.08] As a smile ran away from his face
[02:18.03] "Well, I′m sure that I could be a movie star
[02:22.25] If I could get out of this place"
[02:26.20] Oh, la, la-la, di-di-da
[02:30.70] La-la di-di-da da-dum
[02:38.02] Now Paul is a real estate novelist
[02:42.53] Who never had time for a wife
[02:46.47] And he's talkin′ with Davy, who's still in the navy
[02:50.98] And probably will be for life
[02:54.64] And the waitress is practicing politics
[03:08.73] As the businessmen slowly get stoned
[03:12.39] Yes, they′re sharing a drink they call loneliness
[03:16.62] But it's better than drinkin′ alone
[03:20.84] Sing us the song, you're the piano man
[03:40.83] Sing us a song tonight
[03:44.51] Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
[03:48.73] And you′ve got us feelin′ alright
[03:52.68] It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
[04:10.71] And the manager gives me a smile
[04:14.65] ′Cause he knows that it's me they′ve been comin' to see
[04:18.89] To forget about life for a while
[04:22.55] And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
[04:28.46] And the microphone smells like a beer
[04:32.40] And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
[04:36.63] And say man what are you doin′ here?
[04:40.29] Oh, la, la-la, di-di-da
[04:44.79] La-la di-di-da da-dum
[04:50.15] Sing us the song, you're the piano man
[04:56.63] Sing us a song tonight
[05:00.02] Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
[05:04.24] And you′ve got us feelin′ alright
