Billy Joel - Piano Man (yes, it is about a gay bar)

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”

[Refrain]

[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 feeling alright

[Verse 2]
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”

[Refrain]

[Verse 3]
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

[Instrumental Break]
[Piano Solo]

[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 feeling alright

[Verse 4]
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?”
[Refrain]

Billy Joel wrote and performed some great songs,but he hit it out of the ballpark with this one.

His first hit, IIRC.  About the same time, Harry Chapin released "WOLD."  I ignored all that good advice.

Hey if I was being choked like the one on the right I'd be making that face too! As a matter of fact I have an older brother, I did make that face too! As far as all babies being beautiful? yeah they are to their parents

I make that face too... But usually only in the bathroom.

Bought a smart watch a few weeks ago. Last night it assigned me a 'bedtime'. LOL ... had to laugh.
Got an alert out of nowhere. It said, "You're bedtime is in 45 minutes. Get ready."
It has been a lot of years since I had a bedtime. LOL

My watch is not a watch. It is a nurse/nanny I wear on my wrist. Don't know what it does if I disobey it. The watch was right.

[corbe]

   It will convince your hand to NOT put out?

It is strange to consider how many people currently or in history look exactly like everyone of us. We are all a xerox copy of someone.

[240B]

Not me! No way!
I want a fully tattooed girl with a dozen piercings and at least 3 out of wedlock children ... one of them half Black.

That's more than a little "creepy" in MY book.

Made me chuckle. I like all of this stuff ... except the clown.

I recently heard a guy expounding on vaginas.
His thesis is that a vagina is a portal to another dimension.
He says, "A vagina opens up once in a while and deposits a person on our planet and into our reality."
So a vagina is a portal to infinity, which allows souls on the other side to come forth.
