Cast

 * Don Music (from Sesame Street) as Billy Joel

Lyrics
Don Music: It's nine o'clock on a Saturday The regular crowd shuffles in There's an old man sitting next to me Making love to his tonic and gin

He says, "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."

Sing us a song you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feeling 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 a 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."

Now Paul is a real estate novelist Who never had time for a wife And he's talking 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 drinking alone

Sing us a song you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feeling alright

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 coming 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 doing here?"

Sing us a song you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feeling alright
