Live At Yankee Stadium

Billy Joel( 比利喬 ) Live At Yankee Stadium專輯

5.Piano Man

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an ole man sitting next to me
Making 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'

*(Sing us a song you're a piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you're got us feeling 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 a smile ran away from his face
'Well, I'm sure that I could be movie star
If I could get out of this place'

*(repeat)

Now 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 along

*(repeat)
