Billy Joel - Piano Man (Audio)
[00:01.66] "PIANO MAN"
[00:31.66] It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
[00:35.14] The regular crowd shuffles in
[00:39.39] There's an old man sitting next to me
[00:43.41] Making love to his tonic and gin
[00:57.48] He says, "Son, can you play me a memory?
[01:01.51] I'm not really sure how it goes
[01:05.75] But it's sad and it's sweet
[01:09.75] And I knew it complete
[01:10.53] When I wore a younger man's clothes."
[01:27.27] Sing us a song you're the piano man
[01:29.93] Sing us a song tonight
[01:34.44] Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
[01:38.44] And you've got us feeling alright
[01:53.57] Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
[02:00.49] He gets me my drinks for free
[02:04.74] And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
[02:08.74] But there's some place that he'd rather be
[02:15.12] He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."
[02:18.07] As the smile ran away from his face
[02:22.59] "Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star
[02:26.30] If I could get out of this place."
[02:41.77] Now Paul is a real estate novelist
[02:45.76] Who never had time for a wife
[02:51.60] And he's talking with Davy, who's still in the Navy
[02:55.62] And probably will be for life
[03:08.63] And the waitress is practicing politics
[03:13.41] As the businessmen slowly get stoned
[03:17.40] Yes, they're sharing a drink they call "Loneliness"
[03:21.65] But it's better than drinking alone
[03:41.86] Sing us a song. You're the piano man
[03:45.58] Sing us a song tonight
[03:49.58] Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
[03:53.30] And you've got us feeling alright
[04:12.46] It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
[04:15.85] And the manager gives me a smile
[04:19.83] 'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see
[04:23.97] To forget about life for a while
[04:29.56] And the piano. It sounds like a carnival
[04:33.54] And the microphone smells like a beer
[04:37.26] And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
[04:40.99] And say, "Man, what are you doing here?"
[04:57.74] Sing us a song. You're the piano man
[05:01.18] Sing us a song tonight
[05:05.43] Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
[05:09.94] And you've got us feeling alright
