[00:35.08]It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
[00:40.15]The regular crowd shuffles in
[00:43.40]There's an old man sittin' next to me
[00:47.83]Makin' love to his tonic and gin
[00:51.98]🎵
[01:01.64]He says, "Son can you play me a memory?
[01:06.26]I'm not really sure how it goes
[01:09.89]But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
[01:14.38]When I wore a younger man's clothes"
[01:18.60]La, la-la, di-di-da
[01:23.59]La-la di-di-da da-dum
[01:30.56]Sing us a song, you're the piano man
[01:34.84]Sing us a song tonight
[01:38.49]Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
[01:42.79]And you've got us feelin' alright
[01:47.04]🎵
[02:00.73]Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
[02:05.20]He gets me my drinks for free
[02:09.06]And he's quick with a joke, or to light up your smoke
[02:13.29]But there's some place that he'd rather be
[02:19.17]He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
[02:23.29]As a smile ran away from his face
[02:27.15]"Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star
[02:31.70]If I could get out of this place"
[02:35.61]Oh, la, la-la, di-di-da
[02:40.49]La-la di-di-da da-dum
[02:47.81]Now Paul is a real estate novelist
[02:51.62]Who never had time for a wife
[02:55.40]And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the navy
[02:59.93]And probably will be for life
[03:05.03]🎵
[03:13.85]And the waitress is practicing politics
[03:18.00]As the businessmen slowly get stoned
[03:21.72]Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
[03:25.92]But it's better than drinkin' alone
[03:31.02]🎵
[03:45.75]Sing us the song, you're the piano man
[03:49.92]Sing us a song tonight
[03:53.56]Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
[03:57.80]And you've got us feelin' alright
[04:02.93]🎵
[04:15.79]It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
[04:19.85]And the manager gives me a smile
[04:23.79]'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
[04:28.19]To forget about life for a while
[04:33.55]And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
[04:37.74]And the microphone smells like a beer
[04:41.44]And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
[04:45.84]And say man what are you doin' here?
[04:49.74]Oh, la, la-la, di-di-da
[04:54.78]La-la di-di-da da-dum
[05:01.34]Sing us the song, you're the piano man
[05:06.01]Sing us a song tonight
[05:09.27]Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
[05:13.62]And you've got us feelin' alright
[05:16.95]🎵
