Question

Help answer this question below.

What was the exit song played at the Billy Joel concert on Maui? It had a refrain of "I Be Smokin'" but it wasn't exactly about drugs--more of a life statement.

    No -- I'm sorry, I don't think I was clear. It wasn't a Billy Joel song, and it wasn't sung by Billy Joel.

    Yes, he ended the concert with Piano Man. This was the song played -- not live -- while the audience was leaving the venue.

    Thanks!

    Is it Piano Man? According to his itinery he sang Piano Man. Here are the lyrics for you.

    Piano Man

    Its nine oclock on a saturday
    The regular crowd shuffles in
    Theres an old man sitting next to me
    Makin love to his tonic and gin

    He says, son, can you play me a memory?
    Im not really sure how it goes
    But its sad and its sweet and I knew it complete
    When I wore a younger mans clothes

    La la la, de de da
    La la, de de da da da

    Chorus:
    Sing us a song, youre the piano man
    Sing us a song tonight
    Well, were all in the mood for a melody
    And youve got us feelin alright

    Now john at the bar is a friend of mine
    He gets me my drinks for free
    And hes quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
    But theres someplace that hed rather be
    He says, bill, I believe this is killing me.
    As the smile ran away from his face
    Well Im sure that I could be a movie star
    If I could get out of this place

    Oh, la la la, de de da
    La la, de de da da da

    Now paul is a real estate novelist
    Who never had time for a wife
    And hes talkin with davy whos still in the navy
    And probably will be for life

    And the waitress is practicing politics
    As the businessmen slowly get stoned
    Yes, theyre sharing a drink they call loneliness
    But its better than drinkin alone

    Chorus

    Its a pretty good crowd for a saturday
    And the manager gives me a smile
    cause he knows that its me theyve been comin 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 doin here?

    Oh, la la la, de de da
    La la, de de da da da
