是美国著名歌手、钢琴演奏家、作曲作词家Billy Joel的单曲。比利•乔尔(Billy Joel),亦称作比利乔,全名威廉•马丁•比利•乔尔(William Martin Billy Joel)。就他最有吸引力、最坦率和家喻户晓的情歌来看,比利.乔尔是位迷人的、无可挑剔的表演家,舆论把他与布鲁斯.斯普林斯廷(SPRINGSTEEN,BRUCE)和鲍勃.西格(Bob Seger)相提并论。
Piano Man歌词:
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
He says, "Son, can you play me a melody?
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"
La la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Sing us a song tonight
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright
And you've got us feelin' alright
And you've got us feelin' alright
Now 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
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."
As the smile ran away from his face
"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"
Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the navy
And probably will be for life
And the waitress 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
And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"
Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
