I started singin
"Bye, bye Miss American Pie."
Drove my Chevy to the levee
but the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and eye
and singin "This'll be the day that I die;
this'll be the day that I die."

 

For ten years we've been on our own.
Moss grows fat on a rollin' 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 courtroom was adjourned;
No verdict was returned.
And while Lennon read a book of Marx,
the quartet practiced in the park
and we sang dirges in the dark
the day the music died.

 

i like coconut cream pie

 

We started singin'
"Bye Bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee
but the levee was dry.
Them good 'ol boys
were drinkin' whiskey and rye
singin' 'This'll be the day that I die.
This'll be the day that I die.'"

 

I like sammiches.

 

Helter skelter in a summer swelter.
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter,
Eight miles high and falling fast.
It landed foul on the grass.
The players tried for a forward pass,
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast.

 

Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune.
We all got up to dance,
Oh, but we never got the chance!
'cause the players tried to take the field;
The marching band refused to yield.
Do you recall what was revealed
The Day The Music Died?

 

We started singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin? whiskey and rye
And singin?, "this?ll be the day that I die.
"this?ll be the day that I die."

 

Oh, and there we were all in one place,
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again.
So come on, jack be nimble, jack be quick!
Jack flash sat on a candlestick
Cause fire is the devil's only friend.
