2006-10-21 "Piano Man"

Billy Joel's hit song, Piano Man, is a favorite with many groups. Hard to believe that it was 30 years ago that it came out. Like the Piano Man, we deal with all sorts of customers and users, who all have a problem to tell us or a story to tell. So, let's start singin'!

Its nine o'clock on a Tuesday morn
My emails have all shuffled in
The Action Pack disks are still next to me
And I wonder just where to begin

The voice mail says, "We've been down all night"
I'm not really sure what went wrong
But they're mad and upset, and want it fixed right
And I said, "It won't take me long"

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

Chorus:
Sing us a song, you're the 'puter man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, were all in the mood for a story or two
And you've got us feelin alright

Now John at the office is a friend of mine
He usually changes the tapes
But yesterday came, but the tapes they weren't changed

And now we've got a real mess 

He says, Hey, I know this is killing you
As the smile ran away from his face
Well I'm sure that I could be a happy man
If I could get out of this place

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

Now Susie, I ask, where's our backup disks
The one's I gave you last week?

And she gives me a look, staring out into space
That says she hasn't a clue

Now their boss is screaming "I need it fixed"

When I suddenly discover the cause:

While John and Susie were having some fun,

The power cord got pulled from the wall!

Chorus:
Sing us a song, you're the 'puter man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, were all in the mood for a story or two
And you've got us feelin alright
