[00:42.900]It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
[00:48.900]The regular crowd shuffles in
[00:50.900]There's an old man sitting next to me
[00:55.900]Makin' love to his tonic and gin
[01:09.900]He says, "Son, can you play me a melody?
[01:14.900]I'm not really sure how it goes
[01:17.900]But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
[01:21.900]When I wore a younger man's clothes"
[01:26.900]La la la, de de da
[01:31.900]La la, de de da da da
[01:38.900]Sing us a song, you're the piano man
[01:42.900]Sing us a song tonight
[01:46.900]Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
[01:50.900]And you've got us feelin' alright
[02:08.900]Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
[02:12.900]He gets me my drinks for free
[02:16.900]And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
[02:20.900]But there's someplace that he'd rather be
[02:26.900]He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."
[02:30.900]As the smile ran away from his face
[02:34.900]"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
[02:38.900]If I could get out of this place"
[02:44.900]Oh, la la la, de de da
[02:47.900]La la, de de da da da
[02:54.900]Now Paul is a real estate novelist
[02:59.900]Who never had time for a wife
[03:03.900]And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the navy
[03:07.900]And probably will be for life
[03:20.900]And the waitress is practicing politics
[03:25.900]As the businessmen slowly get stoned
[03:29.900]Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
[03:33.900]But it's better than drinkin' alone
[03:53.900]Sing us a song, you're the piano man
[03:57.900]Sing us a song tonight
[04:01.900]Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
[04:05.900]And you've got us feelin' alright
[04:23.900]It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
[04:27.900]And the manager gives me a smile
[04:31.900]'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
[04:35.900]To forget about life for a while
[04:41.900]And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
[04:45.900]And the microphone smells like a beer
[04:49.900]And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
[04:53.900]And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"
[04:57.900]Oh, la la la, de de da
[05:02.900]La la, de de da da da
[05:09.900]Sing us a song, you're the piano man
[05:12.900]Sing us a song tonight
[05:17.900]Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
