Tom Odell - Piano Man lyrics

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old 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"

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
'Cause we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright

Now John at the bar he's 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 runs 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, di da da la la, di da da da dum

Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
'Cause we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've 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 beer
And they sit at the bar and
Put bread in my jar
And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"

La la la, di da da la la, di da da da dum
One more time

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 feeling alright
You've got us feeling alright

Thank you
