[verse 1]
it’s nine o’clock on a sat-rday
the regular crowd shuffles in
there’s an old man sittin’ 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 it’s sweet, and i knew it complete
when i wore a younger man’s clothes”

[refrain]
la, la-la, di-dee-da
la-la, di-dee-da, da-dum
[chorus]
sing us a song, you’re the piano man

[verse 2]
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 k!lling 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”

[refrain]
la, la-la, di-dee-da
la-la, di-dee-da, da-dum

[verse 3]
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
and i just say
[piano solo]

[chorus]
sing us a song, you’re the piano man

[verse 4]
it’s a pretty good crowd for a sat-rday
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?”

[refrain]
la, la-la, di-dee-da
la-la, di-dee-da, da-dum

[outro]
thank you, new york
y’all have a good summer
don’t take any sh-t from anybody
goodnight

- billy joel
