AMERICAN PIE

Don Mc Lean

Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie

Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

Then good old boys were drinking whiskie and rye

Singing "This'll be the day that I die,

This'll be the day that I die"


Did You write the book of love

And do you have faith in God above

If the Bible tells you so?

Now do you believe in rock'n roll?

Can music save your moral soul?

And can you teach me how to dance real slow?

Well I know that you are in love with him

Cause I saw you dancing in the gym

You both kicked off your shoes

Man, I die those rynthm'n blues

I was a lonely teenager bromin' buck

With a pink carnation and a pick-up truck

But knew that I was out of luck

The day the music die

I started singing...


Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie

Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

Then good old boys were drinking whiskie and rye

Singing "This'll be the day that I die,

This'll be the day that I die"


Now for ten years we've been on our own

And moss groups fat on a rolling stone

But that's not how it used to be

'When the Jester sang for the king and queen

In a coat he borrowed from James Dean

And a voice that came from you and me

Oh, and while the king was looking down

The Jester stole his thorny crown

The courtoon was adtourned

No veredict was returned

And while Lennon read a book of Marx

The quartet practiced in the park

And we sang diviges in the dark

The day the music die

We were singing...


Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie

Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

Then good old boys were drinking whiskie and rye

Singing "This'll be the day that I die,

This'll be the day that I die"
