Madonna
Amarican Pie

Long long time ago
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile.
And I knew it,
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 belive 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 danicin' 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 singin':

(Chorus)
Bye bye Miss American Pie,
Drove my Chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin' Whyskey and Rye,
Singin' this will be the day that I die,
This will be the day that I die.

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news,
She just smiled and turned away.
Well, I went down to the sacred store
Where I heared the music years before,
But the men there
Said, the music wouldn't play.
Well, now in the streets the children screamed,
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed,
But not a word was spoken,
The church bells are well broken.
And the three men I admire the most,
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost,
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died.

We started singin':
(Chorus)
(I'm singin', I'm singin':)
(Chorus 2x)
