歌词
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
He said, son can you play me a memory?
I'm not very 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
[Verse 3]
La-la-la, la-da-da
La-la, la-di-da, da-da
[Verse 4]
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song, tonight
'Cause we're all in the mood for a melody
Well you've got us feelin' alright
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
He says, Bill, I believe this is killing me
As a smile run away from his face
And I'm sure I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place
[Verse 7]
La-la-la, la-da-da
La-la, la-di-da, da-da
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
And they sharing a drink they called, loneliness
But it's better than drinking alone
[Verse 10]
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song, tonight
'Cause we're all in the mood for a melody
Well you've got us feelin' alright
[Verse 11]
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he know that it's me, they'd been comin' to see
To forget about life for awhile
[Verse 12]
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And this 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?
[Verse 13]
La-la-la, la-da-da
La-la, la-di-da, di-da
[Verse 14]
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song, tonight
'Cause we're all in the mood for a melody
Well you've got us feelin' alright
