Piano Man (Glee Cast Version)

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, da

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 someplace that he'd rather be

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

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 doing here?

Oh, la, la, la, di, da, da

La, la, di, da, da, da, da

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
