歌词
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
又到了星期六晚上九点
The regular crowd shuffles in
顾客们纷纷涌入酒吧
There's an old man sitting next to me
有一个老人坐在我的身旁
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
尽情品尝着他的金汤力（原本应该是gin and tonic，我推测是为了押韵所做的修改）
He says' "Son' can you play me a melody?
他说:"年轻人啊，你能给我弹一段旋律吗"
I'm not really sure how it goes
我已不是很记得这段旋律
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
但它悲中带着甜蜜
When I wore a younger man's clothes"
我年轻时对它十分熟悉
La la la' de de da

He says' "Bill' I believe this is killing me."
他说：“这工作让我饱受煎熬”
As the smile ran away from his face
