Most of my favorites of his were from the ‘70s though…
“Well it’s a rainy night in Paris, and I’m sitting by the Seine. It’s a pleasure to be soaking in, the European rain…”
“…It was a beautiful song, but it ran too long. ‘If you wanna have a hit, you gotta make it fit,’ so they cut it down to three-oh-five.”
“I believe I’ve passed the age, of consciousness and righteous rage - I found that just surviving, was a noble fight.”
“Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies, and the king and the queen of the prom, - (BUM BUM!) - riding around with the car top down and the radio on…”
“Got a call from an old friend, we used to be reeeal close… Said he couldn’t go on the American way…”
God I’m such a fanboy…
>thread necromancy
“Down on your knees, I’m the piano god!
Pray to the songs that I’ve sung!
Tell me I’m too good to work here,
Then put my balls right on your tongue!”
And he’s quick with a joke, or to light up your smoke…
Regular crowd shuffles in.
There’s an old man sitting next to me,
Making love to his tonic and gin.
He 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!”
La, la-la, de-de-daa-aaa
La-la, de-de-daa, da-dom
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 all right!
Now John, at the bar, is a friend of mine.
He gets me my drinks for free.
And he’s quick with a joke, oughta light up your smoke,
But there’s someplace that he’d rather be.
He said, “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!”
La, la-la, de-de-daa-aaa
La-la, de-de-daa, da-dom
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife,
And he’s talking with Davey, who’s still in the navy
And probably will be for life.
And the waitress is practicing politics
As a businessman slowly gets 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 all right!
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,
Saying, “Man, what are you doing here?”
La, la-la, de-de-daa-aaa
La-la, de-de-daa, da-dom
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 all right!
Yeah, Robot Chicken did a sketch about the Piano Man.
Sir, this is not your lawn. Get off before I call the police.
Oh, I’ve heard that before, just didn’t know who it was.
@HamburgerTime
Robot Chicken sketch?
And good night.
He is not.
Now please listen to this song.
But I guess he’s from the fifties or something.
