Piano Man (American Idol Performance)

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 de de da La la de de da da da

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 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 star

If 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 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 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 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?"La la la de de da La la de de da da da

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.
