Whats the matter with the song I'm playin?
"Cant't you tell he's the piano man?
Maybe I should go an play the entertainer?
just cos he utilises a back up band

Where have you been hidin'out lately, honey?
can't you tell he's still alive and still makes a lot of money
Everybodys talkin''bout his new soundFunny, but its still Billy Joel to me

Whats the matter with the food I'm eaten.
Scenes form an italian restraunt it seems"
Captain Jack yeah he's a good mate
And now were gonna cruise the river of dreams

You best bets a true baby grand

Hot funk, cool punk, even if he's old junk.

.
Oh, it doesnt matter what they say in the papers
'Cause its always been the same old scene.
Theres new Joel in Allentown
but you can't find the big man on mulberry street.
now goodnignt saigon to me

How about a copy of an innocent man
And we can go and have a dance?
"You could really sing some songs in the attic,
if you just give it half a chance.
Dont waste your money on a new set of speakers,
Some guys keep a thinkin mr Jole is a wreaker
you get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers."
he's old still in2 soul now seems like he's growin mould
He's still Billy Joel to me

Whats the matter with the crowd H'es seeing?
"Dont you know tha gays are out of touch?"
