"American Pie"

This lyrics to this song were written by my uncle and sang to my grandma at our family reunion:


A long, long, Time Ago,
After college and the great world war
grandpa bob was 25

And very desperate for a wife
He crashed the high school prom one night
And bumped into the jr. queeeen

Soon a hot romance ensued
Hazel's dad, Clint, did approve
With grandpa on her doorstep
Pinky didn't have his pep

And so their married life he won
A honeymoon past Alberton
Happy Years Begun and Made
The Day the Jitterbug played

Chorus:
So bye, bye good ole' Hamilton high
Left Montana, bound for Ritzville,
O man was it dry

Then Kennewick dust storms
and Hazel would cry
Singing, this will be the place til we die?????
This is where we'll live till we die

Did they write the book of love
Hazel Evans and grandpa up above
Yes the bible tells you soooooooo

And do you believe in the Benton P.U.D
The Buntin Gym, and the A&W
If your daddy tells you sooooooo

The comet was a sweet, sweet, ride
to Disneyland in 65
we peed along the roadside,
slept in motel dives

I was a "wildman" 10 year old
in the backseat
cryin to stop for a pepsi treat
in vegas we booked the stardust suite
the day the jitterbug played

And now we're singing...

Chorus

25 grandkids, lots of heck
golf cart terror, no broken necks
screamin..."Hey Dreamboat, not you shipwreck!"

off to serve on a mission true
then, dating babes down at BYU
Temple marriage we did persuuuuuue!

Grandma knows we're a lovin' bunch
27 greats, it's not a hunch
more to come before tomorrows lunch
the day the jitterbug played

Soooooo....

Bye, bye good ole' Hamilton High
Left Montana, bound for Ritzville,
0 Man was it dry

Then along came katie
and Hazel would sigh
singing....This has been a wonderful life!!
