[Verse 1]
Well, it's nine o'clock on a Saturday
Drinks are going fast
There's an old man sittin' next to me
Dreading the time that has passed
Said, "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"

[Refrain]
La, la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la, la-la

[Chorus]
Sing us a song, little piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Yeah, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright

[Verse 2]
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
Mhmm, mhmm
[Chorus]
Sing us a song, little piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright
