Karaoke Track: Piano Man by Billy Joel (Pocket Songs) - Karaoke Nerds

Piano Man

Words and Music by
Billy Joel

It's nine o'clock
On a Saturday,

The regular crowd
Shuffles in

There's an old man
Sittin' next to me,

Makin' love to
His tonic and gin

He says, son,
Can you play me

A memory?

But it's sad,
And it's sweet,

And I knew it complete

When I wore
A younger man's

Clothes

La la la,
De de da,

La la,
De de da, la

Sing us a song,
You're the piano man

Sing us a song tonight

Well, we're all
In the mood

For a melody,

Now, John at the bar
Is a friend of mine,

He gets me my
Drinks for free

There's some place
That he'd rather be

He says, Bill,
I believe this is

killing me

As a smile ran away
From his face

If I could get
Out of this place

Woh, la la,
De de da,

La la,
De de da, la

Now Paul is a
Real estate novelist,

Who never had time
For a wife

And he's talkin'
With Davy who's

Still in the Navy

And the waitress is
Practicing politics,

As the businessmen
Slowly get stoned

But it's better
Than drinkin' alone

Instrumental

87654321

Sing us a song,
You're the piano man

Sing us a song tonight

Well, we're all
In the mood

For a melody,

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

And the piano
Sounds like a carnival,

And the microphone
Smells like a beer

And they sit at the bar,
Put bread in my jar,

Say, man, what are
You doin' here?

Woh, La la la,
De de da,

La la,
De de da, la

Sing us a song,
You're the piano man

Sing us a song tonight

And you've got us
Feeling alright
