[00:30]	It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
[00:36]	The regular crowd shuffles in
[00:38]	There's an old man sitting next to me
[00:43]	Makin' love to his tonic and gin
[00:57]	He says' "Son' can you play me a melody?
[01:02]	I'm not really sure how it goes “
[01:05]	But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete “
[01:09]	When I wore a younger man's clothes" “
[01:14]	La la la' de de da
[01:19]	La la' de de da da da
[04:57][03:41][01:26]	Sing us a song' you're the piano man
[05:00][03:45][01:30]	Sing us a song tonight
[05:05][03:49][01:34]	Well' we're all in the mood for a melody
[05:08][03:53][01:38]	And you've got us feelin' alright
[01:56]	Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
[02:00]	He gets me my drinks for free
[02:04]	And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
[02:08]	But there's someplace that he'd rather be
[02:14]	He says' "Bill' I believe this is killing me."
[02:18]	As the smile ran away from his face
[02:22]	"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star “
[02:26]	If I could get out of this place" “
[02:32]	Oh' la la la' de de da
[02:35]	La la' de de da da da
[02:42]	Now Paul is a real estate novelist
[02:47]	Who never had time for a wife
[02:51]	And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the navy
[02:55]	And probably will be for life
[03:08]	And the waitress is practicing politics
[03:13]	As the businessmen slowly get stoned
[03:17]	Yes' they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
[03:21]	But it's better than drinkin' alone
[04:11]	It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
[04:15]	And the manager gives me a smile
[04:19]	'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
[04:23]	To forget about life for a while
[04:29]	And the piano' it sounds like a carnival
[04:33]	And the microphone smells like a beer
[04:37]	And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
[04:41]	And say' "Man' what are you doin' here?"
[04:45]	Oh' la la la' de de da
[04:50]	La la' de de da da da
