The Lyrics
Someday, maybe I'll have time to do a syllable by syllable rewrite of my epic "American Pie" parodies. Until then, I'll do what everyone does when stumped for something to post. Thank you, Screamin' Jay, wherever you may be screamin' today.
I threw a "Pie" at you
Maybe two
You keep writing the things you do:
"No use tryin'
It's not worth tryin'"
Just don't understand it
Not reading it all
But it seems you know better
Encouragement? Or just putting me down?
I'll write a "Spell" instead
All I'm good for
That's all
Bye-bye, "Pie"
Bye-bye, "Pie"
Bye-bye, "Pie"
Took too long to bake it
Why should I care
If you won't read it?
No one else did
Got the word
I'll write a "Spell" or two
Because I can
Maybe two

No offense to anyone who uses this melody. It's not as easy as it looks. And, how many people read "War and Peace" anymore? Or have time to read "American Pie"? Maybe I'll get it right some day. In the meantime (and times these days are getting meaner) if you can't take the heat, don't go sticking your dough in the oven.
