Piano Man lyrics

Billy Joel Piano Man lyrics

 
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 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, di da da
La la, di da da da dum

Chorus:
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"
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/billy_joel/piano_man.html ]
Oh, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum

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 drinkin' alone

Chorus
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 got us feeling alright

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 probably will be for life

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, di da da
La la, di da da da dum

Chorus:
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 got us feeling alright

The song "piano man" by billy joel states a life of a pianist in a piano bar. Not only his life but all the people that work and come there. Workers here dream of something for their life. It's a great song he wrote.

He was once married to christie brinkley.

He plays the grand piano.

Then, it was a music industry full of talent, no matter who you were or where you were from you always had a chance if you had talent. Now, it matters bout the money you have and where you are from and who you are. If you aren't connected at all, you have no chance of making it even if you are the best singer ever. I want the world to go back so i, an innocent 13 year old in philly can make it to stardom...

I would just like to say... I was once on another lyrics website and they said "carnivore" instead of "carnival"... "and the piano, it sounds like a carnivore... " it just doesn't sound quite right. :)

As hiltler stated it enters on a pianist at a coctail bar. The song highlites the hustle, and bustal of new york nitelife. Ow everyone onely, lookin to sleep wit someone that nite, to get threw the nite. The pianoman takes it all in with saddness, but is strong enough to pump up the bar drunks for another nite of fleeting romance, and lust
