00:00Oh
00:31It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
00:36The regular crowd shuffles in
00:39There's an old man sitting next to me
00:44Begging love to his son, A. Gangie
00:58He said, son, can you play me a memory?
01:03I'm not really sure how it goes
01:06But his hand is sweet and I knew it completes
01:11When I wore a younger man's clothes
01:27Sing us a song on the piano
01:57Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
02:01He gets me my drinks for free
02:04And he's quick with a joke
02:07On a light up your smoke
02:09But there's some place that he'd rather be
02:15He says, Bill, I believe this is killing me
02:19I smile right away from his face
02:22But I'm sure that I could be a movie star
02:27And I could get out of this place
02:43Now Paul is a real estate novelist
02:47Who never had time for a wife
02:51He's talking with Davy
02:53Who's still in the Navy
02:55And probably will be polite
03:07And the waitresses practicing politics
03:12As the businessmen slowly get stoned
03:16Yes, they're sharing a treat
03:19They call loneliness
03:20And it's better than drinking alone
03:24And I just say
03:40Sing us a song
03:43You're the piano man
03:44Sing us a song tonight
03:49Well, we're all in the mood
03:51For a melody
03:53And you've got us feeling all
04:10It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
04:14And the manager gives me a smile
04:19Cause he knows that it's me
04:20They've been coming to see
04:23To forget about life for a while
04:28And the piano sounds like a carnival
04:32And the microphone smells like a beer
04:36And they sit at the bar
04:38And put bread in my shop
04:40To say to me
04:41And what are you going to do it again?
04:45La la la la lady da
04:49La la lady da
04:52La la the lady da
04:53La la la lady da
04:58Doh!
04:59Doh!
04:59Doh!
05:01Doh!
05:37Thank you, New York!
