American Pie
作词 : Don McLean
作曲 : Don McLean
A 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
daliver
Bad news on the doorstap
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried when I read about his
widowed bride
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 ole boys were drinkin' whisky ane rye
singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
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 rook and 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 shose
Man, I dig those rhythm and bluses
I was a lonely teenage broncin's buck
with a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck the day the music died.
I started singing bye bye
Now for ten years we've been on our own
and moss grows fat on a rollin's stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the Jester sang for the king and Queen in a coat
He Borrowned 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 Lennin read a book on Marx
the coart took practice in the park and we SONG
dirties in the dark
the day the music died. We were singin's bye bye
Helter-skelter in the summer sweiter
the birds flew off with a fall-out shelter
Eight miles high and fallin's fast, it landed foul on
the gress
the players tried for a forware pass,
with the Jester on the sidelines in a coat
Now the half-time air was sweet paerfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance but we never got the chance
Cause the players tried to take the field,
the marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed the day the music died
We started singin's bye bye
In there we were all in one place,
A generation lost in space with no time left to start
again
So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack sat on a candlestick cause fire is the devils
only friend
(Oh) as I watched him on the stage,
my hands were clenched in festive rage
No angel born in heaven could break that stan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
the sacrificial rite I saw satan
Laughing with delight the day the music died.
He was singin's bye byeI met girl who sang the blues and I asked her for
some happy news
but the just smiled and turned away I went down to
the sacred store
where I heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
The lovers cried and the posts dreamed
(But) Not a word was spoken, the church bells all
were broken
And he three man I admire most the Father,
Son an the holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died.
And they were singin' bye bye
