A long long time ago…
I can still remembe r how that
music u sed to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And ma ybe they'd be happy for a while.
B ut February made me shiver
W ith every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on t he doorstep…
I couldn't take one more step
I ca n't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something t ouched me deep inside
The day the m usic died
So b ye-bye, Miss Am erican Pie
Drove my c hevy to the levee
But the l evee was dr y
And them g ood old boys were drinkin'
wh iskey and rye
Singin' th is'll be the day that I die
Th is'll be the day that I die
D id you write the Bo ok of Love
And to you have faith in God above
I f the Bible tells you so?
Do yo u believe in rock'n roll?
Can mu sic save your mortal soul
And c an you teach me h ow to dance real slow?
Well, I kn ow that you're in l ove with him
'Cause I s aw you dancin' i n the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhyt hm and blu es
I was a l onely teenage broncin' buck
With a pi nk carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the mu sic di ed
I started singin'…
So b ye-bye, Miss Am erican Pie
Drove my c hevy to the levee
But the l evee was dr y
And them g ood old boys were drinkin'
wh iskey and rye
Singin' th is'll be the day that I die
Th is'll be the day that I die
Now for t en years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
But t hat's not how it used to be
When the j ester sang for the King and Queen
In a co at he borrowed from James Dean
And a vo ice that ca me from you and me
Oh, a nd while the King was l ooking down
The je ster stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was ret urned
And wh ile Lennon read a book of Marx
The qu artet practiced in the park
And w e sang dirges in the dark
The day the mu sic di ed
W e were singing…
So b ye-bye, Miss Am erican Pie
Drove my c hevy to the levee
But the l evee was dr y
And them g ood old boys were drinkin'
wh iskey and rye
Singin' th is'll be the day that I die
Th is'll be the day that I die
He lter Skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
E ight miles high and falling fast
I t landed foul out on the grass
The pl ayers tried for a forward pass
With the je ster on the si delines in a cast
Now the ha lf-time air was s weet perfume
Whi le the sergeants played a m arching tune
We all got up t o dance
Oh, but we never got the ch ance
'Cause the p layers tried to take the field
The ma rching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the mu sic di ed?
W e started singing
So b ye-bye, Miss Am erican Pie
Drove my c hevy to the levee
But the l evee was dr y
And them g ood old boys were drinkin'
wh iskey and rye
Singin' th is'll be the day that I die
Th is'll be the day that I die
An d 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
Ja ck Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause f ire is the D evil's only friend
An d as I watched him o n the stage
My ha nds were clenched in f ists of rage
No angel born in hell
Could break that Satan's spe ll
And as the fla mes climbed high into the night
To l ight the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the mu sic di ed
W e were singing…
So b ye-bye, Miss Am erican Pie
Drove my c hevy to the levee
But the l evee was dr y
And them g ood old boys were drinkin'
wh iskey and rye
Singin' th is'll be the day that I die
Th is'll be the day that I die
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But sh e just smiled and turned away
A went down to the sa cred store
Where I' d heard the music ears before
But the ma n there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets the children screamed
The lo vers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spo ken
The church bells all were bro ken
And the t hree men I admire most
The Fa ther, Son and the Holy Ghost
Th ey caught the last train for the coast
The day the m usic d ied
And they were singing…
So b ye-bye, Miss Am erican Pie
Drove my c hevy to the levee
But the l evee was dr y
And them g ood old boys were drinkin'
wh iskey and rye
Singin' th is'll be the day that I die
Th is'll be the day that I die
T hey were singing b ye-bye,
Miss Am erican Pie
Drove my c hevy to the levee
But the l evee was dr y
And them g ood old boys were drinkin'
wh iskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the da y that I di e
