MADONNA - AMERICAN PIE

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 & roll,
And can music save your mortal soul,
And can you teach me how to dance real slow,

Well I know that your in love with him,
Cause I saw you dancing in the gym,
You both kicked off your shoes,
And I dig those rhythmy blues,
I was a lonely teenage drunken bud,
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck,
But I knew that I was out of luck,
The day the music died,

CHORUS:
I started singing,
Bye Bye Miss American Pie,
Drove my chevvy to the levvy,
But the levvy was dry,
And good old boys were drinking,
Whiskey and Rye,
Singing 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 out to the sacred store,
Where I heard the music years before,
But the man there said the music wouldn't play,
Well now in the streets the children screamed,
The robbers cryed and the poets dreamed,
But now the word was spoken,
The church bells all were broken,
And with three men I admire the most,
The father, Son and the Holy Ghost,
They caught the last for the coast,
The day the music died,

CHORUS:
We started singing,
Bye Bye Miss American Pie,
Drove my chevvy to the levvy,
But the levvy was dry,
And good old boys were drinking,
Whiskey and Rye,
Singing this will be the day that I die,
This will be the day that I die,

We started singing,
We started singing,
We started singing,
We started singing.
