Karaoké Piano Man Billy Joel

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 memory?

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 la la la

La la la la la la la

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 feeling 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 some place that he'd rather be

He says Bill I believe this is killing me as the 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 la la la

La la la la la la la

Now Paul is a real estate novelist who never had time for a wife

And he's talking with Davy who's still in the Navy and probably will be for life

And the waitress is practicing politics as the businessmen slowly get stoned

Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness but it's better than drinking alone

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 feeling alright

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday and the manager gives me a smile

'Cos he knows that it's me they've been coming 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 doing here?

Oh la la la la la la

La la la la la la

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 feeling alright
