Billy Joel Piano Man (real Version) Lyrics

Piano Man (real Version) Lyrics

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an
old man sitting next to me
Making love to his tonic and gin

He says,
"Son, can you play me a melody?
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"

La la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da

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

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 a 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 who's still in the
Navy
And probably will be for life

And the waitress is practising
politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a
drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone

(piano
bridge)

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

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
As 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 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

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
