[00:31.143]It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
[00:36.240]The regular crowd shuffles in
[00:39.304]There's an old man sitting next to me
[00:43.680]Makin' love to his tonic and gin
[00:57.711]He says Son can you play me a memory
[01:01.866]I'm not really sure how it goes
[01:05.986]But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
[01:10.337]When I wore a younger man's clothes
[01:14.652]La la la di da da
[01:19.533]La la di di da da dum
[01:26.640]Sing us a song you're the piano man
[01:30.472]Sing us a song tonight
[01:34.571]Well we're all in the mood for a melody
[01:38.668]And you've got us all feelin' all right
[01:56.712]Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
[02:00.809]He gets me my drinks for free
[02:04.950]And he's quick with a joke
[02:06.984]And he'll light up your smoke
[02:09.047]But there's some place that he'd rather be
[02:14.701]He says Bill I believe this is killing me
[02:18.797]As his smile ran away from his face
[02:22.978]Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
[02:27.113]If I could get out of this place
[02:31.222]Oh la la la di da da
[02:36.123]La la di da da da dum
[02:43.540]Now Paul is a real estate novelist
[02:47.602]Who never had time for a wife
[02:51.514]And he's talkin' with Davy
[02:53.065]Who's still in the Navy
[02:55.359]And probably will be for life
[03:09.305]And the waitress is practicing politics
[03:13.154]As the businessman slowly gets stoned
[03:17.036]Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
[03:21.146]But it's better than drinkin' alone
[03:41.606]Sing us a song you're the piano man
[03:45.462]Sing us a song tonight
[03:49.282]Well we're all in the mood for a melody
[03:52.852]And you got us all feeling alright
[04:11.529]It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
[04:15.630]And the manager gives me a smile
[04:19.494]'Cause he knows
[04:20.791]That it's me they've been comin' to see
[04:23.388]To forget about their life for a while
[04:29.042]And the piano it sounds like a carnival
[04:32.860]And the microphone smells like a beer
[04:36.985]And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
[04:41.116]And say Man what are you doin' here
[04:44.946]Oh la la la di da da
[04:49.543]La la di da da da dum
[04:57.243]Sing us a song you're the piano man
