피아노 맨 가사(piano man) - 빌리 조엘

Piano man

it's nine o'clock on a saturday

the regular crowd shuffles in

there's an old man sitting next to me

makin' love to his tonic 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 sweet and i knew

it complete

when i wore a younger man's clothes

la la la dee dee dah la la dee dah dah dum

 

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 smoke

but there's someplace that he'd rather be

he says bill i believe this is killing me

as the 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

oh la la la dee dee dah

la la dee dee dah dah dum

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 nave

and probably will be for life

and the waitress is practicing politics

as the businessman slowly get stoned

yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness

but it's better than drinkin' alone

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 me they've been

comin' to see

to forget about life for a while

and the piano it sounds like a carnival

and 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?

 

oh la la la dee dee dah la la dee dah dah dum

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
