American Pie

Madonna
kar: Joe (The Walrus) Wallace

A long, long time ago
I can still remember how that music
Used to make me smile
And I knew that if I had
My chance I could make
Those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy
For a while

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
And can music save your mortal
Soul and can you teach me
How to dance real slow

Well, I know that you're in love with him
'cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues ~

I was a lonely teenage broncin'
Buck with a pink carnation and
A pickup truck
But I knew that I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singing

Bye, bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And good ol' boys were drinking
Whiskey 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 grows 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 courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned

And while Lenin read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We started singin'

Bye, bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And good ol' boys were drinking
Whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die ~ ~

Bye, bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And good ol' boys were drinking
Whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die ~ ~

We started singin'
We started singin'
We started singin'
We started singin'
