Cet enregistrement est une reprise de Piano Man rendu célèbre par Billy Joel

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 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 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 some place 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 a movie star if I could get out of this place"
Oh la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
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 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've got us feeling alright
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday and the manager gives me a smile
'Cos he knows that it's me they've been coming to see to forget about life for a while
And the piano 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 doing here?"
Oh 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 feeling alright
