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 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
  
  Chorus:
  
  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 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, 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 practicing politics
  As the businessmen slowly get stoned
  Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
  But it's better than drinkin' alone
  
  Chorus
  
  It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
  And 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, it 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
  
  Chorus
