    Lyrics:
    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, di da da
    La la, di da 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 someplace that he'd rather be
    He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
    As the 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 da da
    La la, di da 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 a song you're the piano man
    Sing us a song tonight
    Well we're all in the mood for a melody
    And you got us feeling 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 da da
    La la, di da 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 got us feeling alright

    Best performance by far in all the videos I saw and heard, he's playing that piano with great bounce, and he's playing that harmonica on tune, and his voice is the most passionate to his lyrics - so, two thumbs up with this one - I LOVE IT THE MOST BILLY - thanks for sharing. GOD BLESS you for singing it for as many years as you have - WOW!!!

    I had the privilege of blowing my last 5k promoting this concert at Connecticut College's Palmer Auditorium in December 1976. Still remains a highlight of my life. Greatness was all over the board and a few months later The Stranger came out with Just the Way You Are. There will never be another like him.
