Glee - Piano Man Lyrics
It's nine o' clock on a Saturday the regular crowd shuffles inThere's an old man sitting next to meMakin' 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 completeWhen I wore a younger man's clothes"La la la de de da La la de de da da daSing 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 mineHe gets me my drinks for freeAnd he's quick with a jokeOr to light up a 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 starIf I could get out of this place."La la la de de da La la de de da da daNow Paul is a real-estate novelist,Who never had time for a wife.And he's talking with DavyWho's still in the navy and probably will be for life.And the waitress is practicing politicsAs the businessmen slowly get stonedYes they're sharing a drink they call lonelinessBut 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 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 coming to see.To forget about life for a while.And the piano sounds like a carnivalAnd the microphone smells like a beer.And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jarAnd say "Man what are you doin' here?"La la la de de da La la de de da da daSing 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
