Billy Joel – Piano Man Lyrics  Share

From Billy Joel's album: Piano Man

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"

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 someplace that he^,d rather be

He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
As a 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"

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
[ Piano Man lyrics from

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
^,Cause 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?"

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
