The day the music died
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee
the day the music died
the levee was dry
And we sang dirges in the dark
And while Lennin read a book on Marx
And while the king was looking down
But the levee was dry.
Bye, bye Miss American Pie.
Drove my Chevy to the levee.
No verdict was returned
Singin' this'll be the day that I die.
The courtroom was adjourned
The day the music died.
The jester stole his thorny crown
The quartet practiced in the park
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey 'n rye.
This'll be the day that I die
Bye bye Miss American Pie
