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 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...
CHORUS:
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' 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
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 broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singin'...
CHORUS
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 Lennon read a book of Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singin'...
CHORUS
Helter Skelter in a summer swelter
The Byrds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
It landed foul out on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the Sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, 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'...
CHORUS
Oh, and 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 Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is the Devil's only friend
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrifical rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singin'...
CHORUS
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music woudn't play
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
And they were singin'...

Nice, but I like this one...A long, long time ago,
In a galaxy far away,
Naboo was under an attack.And I thought me and Qui-Gon-Jinn
Could talk the federation in
to maybe cutting them a little slack.But their response it didn't thrill us,
They locked the door and tried to kill us.
We escaped from that gas,
Then met Jar Jar and Boss Nas.We took a bongo from the scene
And went to Theed to see the queen
We all wound up on Tatooine
That's where we found this boy...(Chrous)
Oh my my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader some day later now he's just a small fry
He left his home, kissed his mommy goodbye
Saying "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi."Did you know this junkyard slave
Isn't even old enough to shave
But he can use the force they say.
Ahh do you you see him hitting on the queen
Though he's just nine and she's fourteen
Yeah he's probably gonna marry her someday.Well I know he built C3PO
And I've heard how fast his pod can go
And we were broke, it's true
So we made a wager or two.He was a pre-pubescent flying ace
And the minute Jabba started off that race
Well I know who would win first place
Oh yes, it was our boy.We started singin'...
(Chorus)Now we finally got to Coruscant
The Jedi council we knew would want
Too see how good the boy could be.
So we took him there and told the tale
How his midi-chlorians were off the scale
And he might fulfill that prophecy.Oh the Council was impressed of course
Could he bring balance to the force?
They interviewed the kid,
Oh training, they forbid.
Because Yoda sensed in him much fear
And Qui-Gon said "Now listen here
Just stick it in your pointy ear
I still will teach this boy."
He was singing...(Chorus)
We caught a ride back to Naboo
Because Queen Amidala wanted to
I frankly would have liked to stay.
We all fought in that epic war
And it wasn't long before
Little Hotshot flew his plane and saved the day.And in the end some Gungans died,
Some ships blew up and some pilots fried,
A lot of folks were croakin'
The battle driods were broken.And the Jedi I admire most
Met up with Darth Maul and now he's toast,
Well I'm still here and he's a ghost,
I guess I'll train this boy...And I was singing...
My my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader some day later now he's just a small fry.
He left his home, kissed his mommy goodbye,
Saying "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
(Repeat Chorus)
