You may only have some keywords on a piece of paper with you to give your speech.

Project C: Billy Joel
You are going to watch the official music video of the Piano man by Billy Joel.
You can read the lyrics below.
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
the regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
He says, Son can you play me a memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes
La la la de de da
la la de de da da dum
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
The last line reads:
"But there's some place that he'd rather be ".
In Dutch: "Maar er is een andere plek waar hij liever zou zijn".
Now work with a classmate to create a new verse for the song.
In the new verse you explain where John would rather be.
It doesn't have to rhyme, it is allowed of course.
Use your dictionary for words you want to use but don't know.
