Billy Joel - Piano Man

When I wore a younger man's clothes

And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the navy

La-la de-de da da-da

Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness

And the piano it sounds like a carnival

He says Bill I believe this is killing me

As a smile ran away from his face

Makin' love to his tonic and gin

And the microphone smells like a beer

Now Paul is a real estate novelist

Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star

And the waitress is practicing politics

And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar

It's nine o'clock on a saturday

Well we're all in the mood for a melody

If I could get out of this place

I'm not really sure how it goes

As the businessmen slowly get stoned

Who never had time for a wife

But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete

He says son can you play me a memory?

Sing us the song you're the piano man

There's an old man sittin' next to me

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine

And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
