Birthday Girl (Parody of Piano Man by Billy Joel)

For someone like my best friend and birthday girl, Nathalie.

It's seven thirty on a Saturday

The regular klan shuffles in

There's a birthday girl sittin’ next to me

Waitin’ for the party to begin

She says, "Katie, can you play beer pong with me?

‘Cuz I’ve finally turned twenty-one

It is great and it's sweet but my team’s not complete

And we will have so much fun”

La la la, de de da

La la, de de da da da

We’ll sing you a song, you're the birthday girl

We’ll sing you a song tonight

Well, we're all in the mood for a melody

And you've got us feelin' alright

Now Jezli, in the back, is a friend of mine

And she always brings me much glee

She’s quick to get sick, the diseases you wouldn’t pick

But there's no place that she'd rather be

She says, "Katie, I believe this drink is getting to me."

As the smile crept across her glowing face

"Well I'm sure that I could start some chaos

So I should probably get out of this place"

Oh, la la la, de de da

La la, de de da da da

Now Katie is a biotechnologist

Who always had time for a baseball game

And she's talkin' with Chelsey and they both agree

That studying for finals is lame

And Jo is practicing medicine

As the undergrads get by on their own

Yes, they're sharing a drink they call happiness

And it's better than drinkin' alone

We’ll sing you a song, you're the birthday girl

We’ll sing you a song tonight

Well, we're all in the mood for a melody

And you've got us feelin' alright

It's a pretty good crowd for a birthday party

And Nathalie gives me a smile

'Cause she knows that it's her that they’re comin' to see

To celebrate her life for a while

And the music, it sounds like a carnival

And this microphone smells like a beer

And we stand around and put cake in our mouths

And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"

Oh, la la la, de de da

La la, de de da da da

We’ll sing you a song, you're the birthday girl

We’ll sing you a song tonight

Well, we're all in the mood for a melody

And you've got us feelin' alright
