Please don’t ask me why
It’s still Billy Joel to me
Just take your chances
Just take your chances
with your grand café’s waiters;
don’t wait for answers
Don’t wait for answers
As she laughs while you’re bleeding
As the good die young
As the good die young,
it’s nine o’clock, Saturday;
“Play me a mem’ry!”
Play me a mem’ry!
Not really sure how it goes
Not much to go on
Not much to go on
Old photo, yellowed letter
These memories fade
These memories fade
just like old Kodachrome pics;
bygone days recalled
Bygone days recalled
Summer sun and baseball game
On the transistor
On the transistor
I placed all my confidence;
no better high tech!
No better high tech
Than that old washing machine.
My mother loved it.
No better high tech!
Than my good friend the A.I.
Part of me has died
My mother loved it
When I got my first job and
Even cut my hair
Even cut my hair
just in time for Thanksgiving;
pass the pumpkin pie!
Pass the pumpkin pie!
Play Alice’s Restaurant.
Pack up leftovers.
Pack up leftovers
Start the dishwasher, someone
Wake up Uncle Bert
Wake up, Uncle Bert!
We’re about to play poker;
grab your cards and chips.
(pardon my interruption but this belongs here)
LOL, yes, it really does! Thanks. 
Grab your cards and chips
Both poker and potato
But don’t double dip
But don’t double dip
Your tip, as 'tis kinky and
Unsanitary
