It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
  The regular crowd shuffles in
  There's an old man sittin' 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-di-da
  La-la di-di-da da-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 some place 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"

Oh, la, la-la, di-di-da
  La-la di-di-da da-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 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 drinkin' alone

Sing us the 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, di-di-da
  La-la di-di-da da-dum
  
  Sing us the 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
