Piano Man (In the Style of Billy Joel)(Demo Vocal Version)(In the Style of Billy Joel|Demo Vocal Version)
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
- 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 and gin
- He says' "Son' can you play me a melody?
- 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' de de da
- La la' de de da 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 smoke
- But 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"
- Now Paul is a real estate novelist
- Who never had time for a wife
- And he's talking with Davy, who's still in the Navy
- And probably will be for life
- And the waitress is practicing politics
- As the businessmen slowly get stoned
- Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
- But it's better than drinking 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 feeling 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 coming to see
- To forget about life for a while
- And the piano 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 doing here?"
- 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 feeling alright
