and always avoid the man in the corner play the ivory keys..........its him I tell ya, its him.
It’s nine o’clock on a saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There’s N5 man sitting next to me
Knocking back his tonic and gin
He says, Alf , 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
Chorus:
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 feelin’ alright
Now Fleety 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, Alf , I believe this is killing me.
As the smile ran away from his face
Well I’m sure that I could be a vintage car driver
If I could get out of this place
Now Xoggoth is a real cool novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he’s talkin’ with dodgy agent who’s still in the navy
And probably will be for life
And Chico is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they’re sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it’s better than drinkin’ alone
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 a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
