PIANO MAN
Now Paul is a real estate __________
Billy Joel Who never had time for a _________
And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the navy
It's________ on a Saturday And probably will be for life
The Regular crowd shuffles in
There's an ____________sitting next to me And the waitress is practising ________
Makin' love to his tonic and gin As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
He says, "Son, can you _____ me a memory But it's better than drinkin' alone
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it ________ Chorus
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
La la la, de de da for a melody and you got us feeling alright
La la, de de da da dum
It's a pretty good crowd for a __________
Chorus: And the manager gives me a smile
Sing us a song, you're the piano man 'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
Sing us a _______ tonight To forget about life for a while
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And the piano, it sounds like a _________
And you've got us feelin' alright
And the microphone smells like a beer
Now John at the bar is a_______of mine And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
He gets me my drinks for free And say, "Man, what are you doin' here."
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be Oh, la la la, de de da
He says, "bill, I believe this is killing me." La la, de de da da dum
As the smile ran away from his __________
"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star Chorus:
If I could get out of this place" sing us a song you're the piano man sing us a song
tonight
Oh, la la la, de de da well we're all in the mood for a melody and you got us
La la, de de da da dum feeling alright
