[Speaking] I have this great new job. I’m on a show
called “Glee,” and... [applause]
Yeah, and I get to sing a lot of great songs, and this is one of them.
[Singing] I wanna hold 'em like they do in Texas, please
Fold 'em, let 'em hit me, raise it, baby stay with me
Luck and intuition, play the cards with spades to start
And after he's been hooked I'll play the one that's on his heart
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, Oh, oh, oh, I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-ohhh, oh, oh, oh, I'll get him hot, and show him what I've got
Can't read my, can't read my No he can't read my poker face
She’s got to love nobody
Can't read my, can't read my No he can't read my poker face
She’s got to love nobody
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face - C'MON! P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
[Speaking] Oh, wait, hold up. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, Marvin.
I [laughs] sorry, I just realized I didn’t set up the song and why would I
be singing this Lady Gaga song with this incredible symphony who all went to Juilliard or Royal
Conservatory of...where do you go in Canada? Anyway...I didn’t mean that disrespectfully,
I just, what’s the equivalent? Juilliard? Oh. [laughs]
Well, no, I just wanted to stop because it makes no sense. Why would we be doing this?
But I... I... you know, I have a little story that goes along with it. I’d just had a
baby at the time and I was feeling really fat and like I was never going to get hired
again and, um, and all of the sudden here comes the call. They want me to be on “Glee”
and, um, I... I get the script and I turn to page 35 and it says, uh this whole thing,
I’m going to play the mother to the lead girl on “Glee” who in real life is 25
years old. So, um, it wasn’t the best day of my life, but I figured glass half-full!
Glass half-full! And, uh, so anyway, so... so... the thing is I’m looking through the
scene and it says um... uh... it’s going to be this whole mother-daughter reunion thing,
you know, and then we’re going to sing “Poker Face” by Lady Gaga. And I was like, I don’t
know, I mean, I’m not that prissy of a person, you know, but “Poker Face”? ‘Cause I
always sort of associated that song with some other things, and... there’s other words
in that song, like baked goods, and... I don’t know! But, I said, you know, “Glass half-full!
Glass half-full! I’m going with it. I’m fat and I need a job!”
[Singing] I wanna roll with him, a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me
Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love if it ain't rough it isn't fun
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, oh, oh, oh, I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-ohhh, oh, oh, oh, I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Can't read my, can't read my No he can't read my poker face
She’s got to love nobody
Can't read my, can't read my No he can't read my poker face
She’s got to love nobody
[Speaking] ‘K, just...keep the mother-daughter reunion thing...
[Singing] I won't tell you that I love you
Kiss or hug you Cause I'm bluffin' [pause, laughter]
with my muffin [pause, laughter, applause]
[Speaking] I mean, come on. Here’s my favorite part.
[Singing] I'm not lying I'm just stunnin' with my love-glue-gunning
Just like a chick in the casino Take your bank before I pay you out
I promise this, I promise this Check this hand ‘cause I love Marvin Hamlisch
I love Marvin Hamlisch Love Marvin Hamlisch
Love Marvin Hamlisch Love Marvin Hamlisch
She’s got to love nobody
Can't read my, can't read my No he can't read my poker face
She’s got to love nobody
Whoa, no, she don’t love nobody, hey, Whoa, yeah
Give it me, Marvin! Come on! Bring it! Bring it! Bring it!
Hey!
