It's eight o'clock here ON a Thursday.
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 melody?
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, DA-da, da-DE-da...
Da-da, da-DE-da, da-dum...

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, Gunther, the bar guy's a friend OF mine.
He gets me lattes FOR free.
And I think it would seem
THAT he loves Rachel Greene
but Ross is the guy WITH whom she'll be.

He says, "Joey, I think this is killing me"
and the smile runs away FROM my face.
Don't you know that I'm Chandler, and HE'S Joey
after all the years we've come TO this place?

La, DA-da, da-DE-da...
Da-da, da-DE-da, da-dum...

Now, Ross is a paleontologist
who's about to divorce HIS fifth wife.
And he's talking with Phoebe
and sounding SO needy
hoping Rachel will come back for life.

And the waitress who replaced Rachel spills a cup
making Monica ever more uptight.
Yes, we're sharing a life AS an "odd couple"
but it beats being alone... TO-night!

(BJ's incredible piano break
accompanied by Phoebe's rudimentary guitar licks and
"La la la la-la, la-la...")

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 Central Perk crowd here ON a Thursday
and now Monica gives me a smile
'cause I know that it's me
when she says, "I'll 'do laundry'"
and I get me some wife for a while.

And the piano sounds like a carnival
and the microphone smells like a beer
and Joey HAS gone away
and he's starring with Drea
sayin', "Man, what am I doin' HERE?"

La, DA-da, da-DE-da...
Da-da, da-DE-da, da-dum...

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.
