Well it's nine o'clock on a monday, the regular crowd is making their way in... There's an old man, sitting next to me, making love to his tonic and gin. He asked me to play him a memory, he wasn't really sure how it goes. He assured me that he knew it complete, when he wore a younger man's clothes... John at the bar is a friend of mine, he gets me my drinks for free. He's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke. Today he informed me that there's someplace that he'd rather be. He said, "Man I believe this is killing me" as the smile ran away from his face. He wants to become a movie star, if he can get out of this town. My buddy Paul is a real estate novelist, who never had time for a wife. He's been talking with Davy, who's still in the navy, and probably will be for life. The waitress is practicing politics with the business man who likes to get stoned, they're sharing a drink I call loneliness, but it's better than drinking alone. It's a pretty good crowd for a monday, the manager flashes a smile, cause he knows that it's me that they've been coming to see... The piano sounds like a carnival, the microphone smells like beer. They sit at the bar and put bread in my jar, and ask "Man what are you doing here"
Sing us a song, you're the piano man...Sing us a song tonightttttt....Well, we're all in the mood for a melody....And you've got us feelin' alright..Ohhhh, la la la, de de da...La la, de de da da daaaaaaa Excellent tune!
