Long, long time ago,
I can still remember
how that music used to
make me smile

And I knew if I had
my chance, that I could
make those people
dance and maybe they'd
be happy for a while

But February made me
shiver, with every paper
I'd deliver. Bad news on
the doorstep, I couldn't
take one more step

I can't remember if I

cried when I read about
his widowed bride

But something touched

me deep inside,
the day the music, died

So bye-bye, Miss
American pie, drove my

Chevy to the levee but
the levee was dry

Them good old boys
were drinkin' whiskey
and rye, singin' This'll
be the day that I die

This'll be the day that

ldie

Did you write the book
of love? And do

you have faith in God
above?

Now do you believe in
rock 'n' roll? 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
bronkin' buck with a
pink carnation and
a pick-up truck, but'l

Knew I was out of luck

the day. the music died

I started singin' bye-bye
Miss American pie.
Drove my Chevy to the
levee but the levee
was dry

Them good old boys
were drinkin' whiskey
and rye singin' This'll
be the day that I die

Now for ten years we've
been on our Own and
moss grows fat on a
rollin' 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 were singin'
bye-bye Miss American
pie, drove my Chevy to
the levee but the levee

was dry

Them good old boys
were drinkin' whiskey
and rye singin' This'll
be the day that I die

Bye-bye Miss American

pie, drove my Chevy to

the levee but the levee
was dry

Them good old boys

were drinkin' whiskey

and rye singin' This'll
be the day that I die

This'll be the day that
