A long, long ago... I can still How that used to make me smile. And I if I had my chance That I could make people dance And, maybe, they'd be for a while.
But february made me With paper I'd deliver. Bad news on the I couldn't one more step.
I can't if I cried I read about his widowed bride, But something touched me inside The day the died.
So bye-bye, miss pie. Drove my to the levee, But the was dry. And them good old boys drinkin' whiskey and rye Singin', "this'll be the day I die. "this'll be the day I die."
Did you the book of love, And do you have in God above, If the tells you so? Do you in rock 'n roll, Can music your mortal soul, And can you me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that you're in love him I saw you dancin' in the gym. You kicked off your shoes. Man, I dig those and blues.
I was a teenage broncin' buck a pink carnation and a pickup truck, But I knew I was out of The day the died.
I singin', "bye-bye, miss pie." Drove my to the levee, But the was dry. Them old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye And singin', "this'll be the day I die. "this'll be the day I die."
Now for ten we've been on our own And moss grows fat on a stone, But not how it used to be. the jester sang for the king and queen, In a coat he borrowed from dean And a voice that came you and me,
Oh, and while the was looking down, The jester his thorny crown. The courtroom was No was returned. And while read a book of marx, The quartet in the park, And we sang in the dark The day the died.
We singing, "bye-bye, american pie." my chevy to the levee, But the was dry. Them good old boys drinkin' whiskey and rye And singin', "this'll be the day I die. "this'll be the day I die."
Helter skelter in a swelter. The birds flew off a fallout shelter, Eight high and falling fast. It landed on the grass. The players for a forward pass, the jester on the sidelines in a cast.
Now the air was sweet perfume the sergeants played a marching tune. We all got up to dance, Oh, but we got the chance! `cause the tried to take the field; The marching refused to yield. Do you recall what was The day the died?
We singing, "bye-bye, miss pie." my chevy to the levee, But the was dry. Them old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye And singin', "this'll be the day I die. "this'll be the day I die."
Oh, and there we all in one place, A generation in space With no time left to again. So on: jack be nimble, jack be quick! flash sat on a candlestick Cause is the devil's only friend.
Oh, and as I him on the stage My were clenched in fists of rage. No born in hell Could that satan's spell. And as the flames high into the night To light the rite, I saw satan laughing with The day the died
He was singing, "bye-bye, american pie." Drove my to the levee, But the was dry. good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye And singin', "this'll be the day I die. "this'll be the day I die."
I met a girl who sang the And I asked her for some news, But she just smiled and away. I went down to the store Where I'd the music years before, But the man said the music wouldn't play.
And in the streets: the screamed, The cried, and the poets dreamed. But not a word was The church bells all broken. And the men I admire most: The father, son, and the ghost, They caught the last train for the The day the died.
And were singing, "bye-bye, miss pie." my chevy to the levee, But the was dry. And them good old boys were drinkin' and rye Singin', "this'll be the day I die. "this'll be the day I die."
They singing, "bye-bye, miss pie." my chevy to the levee, But the was dry. Them good old boys were whiskey and rye Singin', "this'll be the day I die."
