Original Lyrics Munged Lyrics
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 memory
I'm not really

Its nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles inn
There's an old man sitting next too mi
Makin ' love too his tonic and gin

He says, " Sun, can yew play mi a memory
I'm knot really sure how it goes
Butt its sad and its suite and Eye new it complete
When Eye war a younger man's clothes . "

La la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum

Sing us a song, yaw the piano man
Sing us a song two knight
Well, weir awl inn the mood fore a melody
And you've got us feelin ' alright

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets mi my drinks fore free
And he's quick with a joke ore too light up yaw smoke
Butt there's someplace that heed rather bee
He says, " Bill, Eye believe this is killing mi . "
As the smile ran aweigh from his face
" Well I'm sure that Eye could bee a movie star
If Eye could get out of this plaice "

Owe, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum

Now Pawl is a reel estate novelist
Who never had thyme fore a wife
And he's talkin ' with Davy, whose still inn the Navy
And probably will bee fore life

And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, there sharing a drink they caul loneliness
Butt its better than drinkin ' alone

Sing us a song yaw the piano man
Sing us a song two knight
Well weir awl inn the mood fore a melody
And yew got us feeling alright

Its a pretty good crowd fore a Saturday
And the manager gives mi a smile
' Cause he nose that its mi they've bean comin ' too sea
Too forget about life fore a wile
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a bier
And they sit at the bar and put bred inn my jar
And say, " Man, watt are yew doin ' hear ? "

Owe, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum

Sing us a song yaw the piano man
Sing us a song two knight
Well weir awl inn the mood fore a melody
And yew got us feeling alright
