Garou - Piano Man

(Daniel Lavoie)
It`s nine o`lock on a Saturday
The regular crow shuffles in
There`s an old man sitting next to me
Makin`love to his tonic and gin

(Garou)
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

La la la la la la

chorus
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 feelin`alright

(Daniel Lavoie)
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife

(Garou)
And he`s talking with Davy
Who`s still in the navy
And probably will be for life

(Daniel Lavoie)
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businesmen slowly get stoned

(Garou)
Yes, they`re sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it`s better than drinkin`alone

Chorus

(Garou)
It`s a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile

(Daniel Lavoie)
`Cause he knows that it`s me
They`ve been comin`to see
To forgot about life for a while

(Garou)
And the piano it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer

(Daniel Lavoie)
And they sit at the bar
and put bread in my jar
And say man what are you doin`here

La la la la la la

Chorus
