00:00I've got a brand new song here. I wrote it just a day or so ago.
00:06I hope I can remember the words. If I forget a few of them, I hope you forgive me. I hope you won't make me do it over.
00:14It goes like this.
00:16A long, long time ago
00:20I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
00:26And I knew if I had my chance
00:30I could make those people dance
00:33Maybe they'd be happy for a while
00:37But February made me shiver
00:41With every paper I'd deliver
00:44Bad news on the doorstep
00:47I couldn't take one more step
00:51I can't remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride
00:57Something touched me deep inside the day
01:04The music died
01:11Sing it with me.
01:13So bye-bye, Miss American Pie
01:19Don't miss Chevy to the levee, but the levee will dry
01:25Them good old boys are drinkin' whiskey and rye
01:31Singin' this'll be the day that I die
01:36A little louder
01:38This'll be the day that I die
01:44Did you write the book of love?
01:47Do you have faith in God above?
01:51If the Bible tells you so
01:55Now do you believe in rock and roll?
01:59Can music save your mortal soul?
02:03Can you teach me how to dance real slow?
02:09Well, I know that you're in love with him
02:13Cause while you're dancin' in the gym
02:17You both kicked off your shoes
02:20I think those are rhythm and blues
02:24A lonely teenage rock and ball
02:27With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
02:31But I knew I was out of luck the day
02:36The music died
02:41So bye-bye, Miss American Pie
02:45Don't miss Chevy to the levee, but the levee will dry
02:49Them good old boys are drinkin' whiskey and rye
02:52Singin' this'll be the day that I die
02:56This'll be the day that I die
03:01Now for ten years we've been on our own
03:05Moss grows fat on a rolling stone
03:09That's not how it used to be
03:13Why when the jester sang for the king and queen
03:17In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
03:21And a voice that came from you and me
03:27Oh, and while the king was looking down
03:31The jester stole his thorny crown
03:35Courtroom room was adjourned
03:38No verdict was returned
03:41And while they'd read a book on Marx
03:45A quartet practiced in the park
03:49We sang dirges in the dark today
03:54The music died
03:58We were singing bye-bye, Miss American Pie
04:03Don't miss Chevy to the levee, but the levee will dry
04:07Them good old boys are drinkin' whiskey and rye
04:10Singin' this'll be the day that I die
04:14This'll be the day that I die
04:19Helter skelter in the summer swelter
04:23The birds flew off with a fallout shell
04:27Eight miles high and pulling fast
04:32They landed foul on the grass
04:35Players tried for a forward pass
04:39With a jester on the sidelines in a cask
04:45Now the halftime air was sweet perfume
04:49While the sergeants played their marching tune
04:53We all got up to dance
04:56We never got the chance
04:59The players trying to take the field
05:03The marching band refused to yield
05:07Do you recall what was revealed today?
05:12The music died
05:16We were singing bye-bye, Miss American Pie
05:21Don't miss Chevy to the levee, but the levee will dry
05:25Them good old boys are drinkin' whiskey and rye
05:28Singin' this'll be the day that I die
05:32This'll be the day that I die
05:36Oh yeah, we were all in one place
05:41A generation lost in space
05:44With no time left to start again
05:48So come on, Jack, be nimble, Jack, be quick
05:53Jack Flash sat on his candlestick
05:56But fire is the devil's only friend
06:02Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
06:06My hands were clenched and fists of rage
06:10No angel born in hell could break that Satan's spell
06:16As the flames climbed high into the night
06:20To light the sacrificial rite
06:23I saw Satan laughing with delight
06:27The day the music died
06:33We were singing bye-bye, Miss American Pie
06:37Don't miss Chevy to the levee, but the levee will dry
06:41Them good old boys are drinkin' whiskey and rye
06:44Singin' this'll be the day that I die
06:48This'll be the day that I die
06:53Well, I met a girl who sang the blues
06:57And I asked her for some happy news
07:00But she just smiled and turned away
07:05And I went down to the sacred store
07:08Where I'd heard the music years before
07:12But the man there said the music wouldn't play
07:21In the streets the children screamed
07:25The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
07:28But not a word was spoken
07:31The church bells all were broken
07:35And the three men I admire most
07:39The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
07:42They caught the last train for the coast
07:46The day the music died
07:55They were singing bye-bye, Miss American Pie
08:03Don't miss Chevy to the levee, but the levee will dry
08:10Them good old boys are drinkin' whiskey and rye
08:17Singin' this'll be the day that I die
08:25This'll be the day that I die
08:32Good night everybody, they were singing
08:35Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
08:41Don't miss Chevy to the levee, but the levee will dry
08:48Them good old boys are drinkin' whiskey and rye
08:55Singin' this'll be the day that I die
