00:00Thank you
00:30I'll give you the ruler.
00:34I'll give you the ruler to see.
00:39I'll give you the ruler.
00:41I'll give you the ruler.
01:18It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
01:22The regular crowd shuffles in
01:26There's an old man sitting next to me
01:30Begging love to his son, A, Gange
01:44He said, son, can you play me a memory?
01:49I'm not really sure how it goes
01:53But his hand is sweet and I knew it completes
01:57When I wore a younger man's clothes
02:01La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
02:43Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
02:47He gets me my drinks for free
02:51And it's quick with a joke
02:53On a light up your smoke
02:55But there's some place that he'd rather be
03:01He says, Bill, I believe this is killing me
03:05A smile right away from his face
03:09For I'm sure that I could be a movie star
03:13If I could get out of this place
03:18La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
03:28la, la, laur
03:29Now Paul is a real estate novelist
03:33Who'd never had time for a wife
03:38He's talking with Davey
03:40Who's still in the Navy
03:42And probably we'll be polite
03:54And the waitresses practicing politics
03:59As the businessmen slowly get stoned
04:03Yes, they're sharing a drink
04:06They call loneliness
04:07And it's better than drinking alone
04:11And I just say
04:27Sing us a song, you're the piano man
04:31Sing us a song tonight
04:35Oh, we're all in the mood for a melody
04:38And you've got us feeling all right
04:57It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
05:00And the manager gives me a smile
05:05Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see
05:09To forget about life for a while
05:15And the piano sounds like a carnival
05:18And the microphone smells like a beer
05:22And they sit at the bar
05:25And put print in my shop
05:27And say, man, what are you doing here?
05:30Vil'a farm
05:33And that's what I hear
05:46And you say, much for a pumpkin
05:54And the pain
05:56And you've got itself
05:57You've got to drink
05:58And you've got to drink
05:58And you've got to drinkå…天's
