New Piano Man

By Billy Joel and Edward Sans Gillies  III 

(Regrets to Mr. Joel) 

VERSE 1

It’s 10:45 on a Sunday morn

The regular crowd shuffles in

There’s an old man sitting next to me

Playing bass but his ear’s made of tin

He says,

“Son, I can’t play these new melodies

I’m not really sure how they go

Won’t you sing ‘Tis so sweet?’

– I know that one complete

But this new-fangled stuff has to go!”

Oh la la la, de de da

La la, de de da

CHORUS

Sing the old songs, New Piano Man

Sing or prepare to fight

Well we’re all in the mood

For a worship war

And you’ve got us feeling uptight

VERSE 2

Now John on guitar

Loves his power chords

But he only plays in E

And he’s quick with a joke

Or to light up his smoke

After church when no one can see

He says, “Ed, this just isn’t fulfilling me”

As the smile runs away from his face,

Well I’m sure

That I could play for Mercy Me

If I could get out of this place.

Oh la la la, de de da

La la, de de da

REPEAT CHORUS   

VERSE 3

Now Paul is an old school hymnologist

Who sings sweet duets with his wife

He’s a whiner and crier,

Stirring strife in the choir

And probably will be for life

And the pastor

Has mastered church politics,

His associates are all nicely cloned

Yes, they’re sharing a think

That’s called phoniness

But it’s better than thinking alone.

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 4

It’s a pretty good crowd

For a Sunday morn

And an elder gives me the look

‘Cause he knows that they’ll seethe

If I don’t quickly sing

A song from the sacred hymnbook

And the piano

It sounds very synthesized

And the microphone rings

Loud and clear

And they sit in their pews

Slowly coming unglued

And say,

“Man, what are you doing here?”

Oh la la la, de de da

La la, de de da

CHORUS

Billy Joel will just never be the same again.
