Piano Man - Live from Radio 2's Chris Evans Breakfast Show
It's 9 o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
And there's an old man sitting next to me
Making 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 sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes
La la la la la la la
Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
'Cause we're all in the mood for a melody
And you got us feeling 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
But I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place
La la la la la la la
Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
'Cause we're all in the mood for a melody
And you 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 it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
Saying, man, what are you doing here
La la la la la la la
Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
'Cause we're all in the mood for a melody
And you got us feeling alright
You got us feeling alright
The regular crowd shuffles in
And there's an old man sitting next to me
Making 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 sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes
La la la la la la la
Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
'Cause we're all in the mood for a melody
And you got us feeling 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
But I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place
La la la la la la la
Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
'Cause we're all in the mood for a melody
And you 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 it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
Saying, man, what are you doing here
La la la la la la la
Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
'Cause we're all in the mood for a melody
And you got us feeling alright
You got us feeling alright
