Amarican Pie - Madonna

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 '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 dancin' in the gym 
You both kicked off your shoes [both kicked off your shoes] 
Man, I dig those rhythm 'n blues 


I was a lonely teenage drunken' 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 
And good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey 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 
But she just smiled and turned away 
Well I went down to the sacred store 
Where I'd heard the music years before 
But the man there said the music wouldn't play 


Well now in the streets the children screamed [the children screamed]
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed [the poets dreamed] 
But not a word was spoken [not a word was spoken] 
The church bells all were 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 start singin' 


(chorus)

(chorus) 


We started singin' 
(repeat 3 times)
