Текст песни Piano Man, Billy Joel

It s nine o clock on a saturdayThe regular crowd shuffles in
There s an old man sitting next to me
Makin 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 sweetAnd I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man s clothes"

Da da da da de de daDa da de de da da
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 feelin 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 smokeBut 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."

Da da ...
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 feelin alright.

Now Paul is a realestate novelist,
Who never had time for a wife.
And he,s talking with Davy
Who s still in the navyAnd probably will be for life.
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the buissnessman slowly gets stoned
Yes they re sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it s better than drinking alone.

INSTRUMENTAL
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 feelin alright.

It s a pretty good crowd for a saturday,And the manager gives me a smile.
Cause he knows that it s meThat they ve been coming to see.
To forget about life for a while.
And the piano sounds like a carneval
Ande the microphone smells like a beer.
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say "Man what are you doin here ?"

Da da ..
Sing us a song ...
