Piano Man Lyrics
🕘 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 some place 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.”
🏠 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
🍹 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. 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 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
