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 alrightNow John at the bar is a friend of mineHe gets me my drinks for freeAnd he's quick with a joke or to light up your smokeBut there's someplace that he'd rather beHe 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."Now Paul is a real estate novelistWho never had time for a wifeAnd he's talking with Davy, who's still in the NavyAnd probably will be for lifeAnd the waitress is practicing politicsAs the businessmen slowly get stonedYes they're sharing a drink they call "Loneliness"But it's better than drinking aloneIt's a pretty good crowd for a SaturdayAnd the manager gives me a smile'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to seeTo forget about life for a whileAnd the piano it sounds like a carnivalAnd the microphone smells like a beerAnd they sit at the bar and put bread in my jarAnd say, "Man, what are you doing here?☆ Билли Джоэл • 1949 • US • aвтор-исполнительart by:Remi Labarre,Fabian Perez & Iain Faulkner
