Tickled Ivories
in the mood for a melody
Sing us a song
To forget about life for a while
Who never had time for a wife
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
And he's talkin' with Davy
There's an old man
sitting next to me
And the piano it sounds like
who's still in the Navy
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
He says - Son can you play me
And probably will be for life
a memory--
I'm not really sure
how it goes--
But it's sad
you're the piano man
a carnival And the microphone
And the waitress
and it's sweet
and I knew it complete When
is practicing politics
I wore a younger man's clothes
Sing us a song
smells like a beer
As the businessmen
you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
slowly get stoned
Well we're all in the mood
for a melody
And you got us feelin' alright
Sing us a song tonight
And they sit at the bar
Yes they're sharing a drink they
And you've got us feelin alright
Now John at the bar
call loneliness-
-But it's better
is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
and put bread in my jar
than drinking alone
And he's quick with a joke
or to light up your smoke
It's a pretty good crowd
But there's someplace
that he'd rather be
Well we're all
And say - Man
for a Saturday
He says - Bill I believe
this is killing me
And the manager gives me a smile
As the smile ran away
from his face
what are you doin' here
Cause he knows that it's me
Well I'm sure that I
could be a movie star
they've been comin' to see
If I could get out of this place
Paul is a real estate novelist
