Piano Man (demo, never released) Songtext
von Billy Joel

Well, it′s nine o'clock on a Saturday
The drinks are going fast
There′s an old man sitting next to me
Reading with time that has passed

He said, "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, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la


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

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

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
