“Alfie” by Cilla Black is featured in What the World Needs Now, the sixth episode of Season Six. It is sung by Santana (Naya Rivera) with the Alumni and New Directions.
Santana sings this to try to get her grandmother to accept her and Brittany’s relationship and invite her to their wedding.
[SANTANA]
What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give?
Or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie
Then I guess it is wise to be cruel
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie
What will you lend on an old golden rule?
[SANTANA with ALUMNI & NEW DIRECTIONS Vocalizing]
As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie
I know there's something much more
Something even non-believers can believe in
[SANTANA, (ALUMNI & NEW DIRECTIONS)]
I believe in love, Aflie (Alfie)
Without true love we just exist, Alfie
[SANTANA with ALUMNI & NEW DIRECTIONS Vocalizing]
Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing
[SANTANA with NEW DIRECTIONS & ALUMNI]
Alfie
[SANTANA (ALUMNI & NEW DIRECTIONS)]
When you walk let your heart lead the way
And you'll find love any day, Alfie (Alfie)
