[Verse 1]
Well, I'm a Southern boy, I come from Louisiana
I was born standing up a-rockin' the piano
I got rhythm in my soul, I got the music in my veins
I can give you boogie 'til it drives you insane

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a honky tonkin' rock and roll piano man
I'll keep a-rocking as long as I can
Got a little thunder in my left hand
'Cause I'm a honky tonkin' rock and roll piano man

[Verse 2]
Well let me hear a little bass, let me hear some drums
I can lay some funk on you 'til you come undone
Let me have a little taste from a bottle of wine
I'll-a keep a-rockin' cause I'm feelin' mighty fine

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a honky tonkin' rock and roll piano man
I'll keep a-rockin' as long as I can
Got a little thunder in my left hand
'Cause I'm a honky tonkin' rock and roll piano man

[Chorus]
Hey, I'm a honky tonkin' rock and roll piano man
I'll-a keep a-rockin' as long as I can
Got a little thunder in my left hand
'Cause I'm a honky tonkin' rock and roll piano man
[Outro]
M-A-N, baby
Where I come from, that's a man
Brrrr
Ah-ha-ha
