American Pie - Terry Baxter & His Orchestra

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 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 dancing in the gym

You both kicked off your shoes

Man I dig those rhythm and blues

I was a lonely teenage bronc and 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 Miss American Pie

Drove my Chevy to the levee

But the levee was dry

And them good old boys

Were drinking whiskey and rye

Singing this'll be the day that I die

This'll be the day that I die

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 friendand

Oh and as I watched him on the stage

My hands were clenched in fists of rage

No angel born in hell

I could break that Satan's spell

And as the flames

Climbed high into the night

To light the sacrificial rite

I saw Satan laughing with delight

The day the music died

I started singing bye

Bye Miss American Pie

Drove my Chevy to the levee

But the levee was dry

Them good old boys

Were drinking whiskey and rye

And singing this'll

Be the day that I die

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 drinking whiskey and rye

And singing this'll be the day that I die

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 drinking whiskey and rye
