Intro: , , ,
Verse 1:
It's nine o clock 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 its sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger mans clothes
Da da da______ de de da_____ Da da__

de de da____ da da______ <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Chorus:
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song to-night
well, we're all in the mood for a melody
and you've got us feelin' al-right
Verse 2:
Now john at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And hes quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But theres someplace that he'd rather be
He says, bill, I be-lieve this is killing me.
As a smile ran a-way from his face
Well Im sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place
PreChorus:
Da da da______ de de da_____ Da da__

de de da____ da da______ <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Chorus:
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song to-night
well, we're all in the mood for a melody
and you've got us feelin' al-right
Verse 3:
Now paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And hes 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, theyre sharing a drink they call loneli-ness
But its better than drinkin a-lone
PreChorus:
Da da da______ de de da_____ Da da__

de de da____ da da______ <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Chorus:
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song to-night
well, we're all in the mood for a melody
and you've got us feelin' al-right
Verse 4:
Its a pretty good crowd for a saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
cause he knows that its me they've been comin to see
To for-get 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?
PreChorus:
Da da da______ de de da_____ Da da__

de de da____ da da______ <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Chorus:
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song to-night
well, we're all in the mood for a melody
and you've got us feelin' al-right
