Ender's Game American Pie

Okay. Ender's Game is not mine, it's Orson Scott Card's. It could never be mine! It's too good! I love it! "The Saga Begins" is Weird Al's, and "American Pie" is Don McLean's. So it's not any of my stuff… I just fit words to songs in rhythm and rhyme. ^_^

American Pie: Ender's Game Version

Adapted by Amalia Ryoko James

Some long, long time from now

Buggers invaded outer space

Most humans died from their attack

Yet somehow man managed to win

And sent their ansible thing into

Invade third and pay the buggers back

They trained a Third, named Ender Wiggin

He had the skills they needed within

The main man was named Graff

A colonel for the I.F.

The Battle School was Ender's start

In every subject he was smart

From Valentine he had to part

The I.F. ruled this boy

Oh my, my Ender is this boy's name

"Buggers coming" so he's learning – lessons all are a game

To save the world he told his sister goodbye

Saying "Valentine I'll write you, don't cry"

"Valentine I'll write you, don't cry"

Did you know that outcast Third

Can fly in space just like a bird

He hurt a guy in zero g

Ahh, do you see him acing rec room sims

Beat an older kid just on a whim

Yeah he'll probably be a commander someday

Well I know he overcame nullo

In the battleroom, with help, you know

Bernard and Shen, it's true

Both of them joined Alai's group

Ender's a prepubescent tactics guy

Fight him hand-to-hand and you will surely die

Up the ranks they made him fly

They always pushed the boy

Oh my, my Ender is this boy's name

"Buggers coming" so he's learning – lessons all are a game

To save the world he told his sister goodbye

Saying "Valentine I'll write you, don't cry"

"Valentine I'll write you, don't cry"

Now he finally got his own army

A couple vets but mostly Launchies

He made them all the best they could be

He fought other armies with little flaw

Estranged all his friends but gained all the awe

And made some dangerous enemies

Oh the I.F. was impressed of course

Could he beat the buggers at their source

Bonzo attacked the kid

Intervention Graff forbid

Because Ender had in him Peter

And he had fought Stilson before

Graff had to prepare him for war

So no one helped the boy

Oh my, my Ender is this boy's name

"Buggers coming" so he's learning – lessons all are a game

To save the world he told his sister goodbye

Saying "Valentine I'll write you, don't cry"

"Valentine I'll write you, don't cry"

Ender and Graff went back to Earth

'Cause Ender had lost all his self-worth

Three months long was their whole stay

Ender commanded the third war

It took five days, that long, before

The fleet blew the bugs' planet away

And in the end the buggers died

Petra broke down and some pilots fried

Dr. Device was smoking

Ender's heart was broken

Alai and Bean I liked the most

They consoled Ender and gave a toast

They all went home and left Eros

And left behind the boy

Oh my, my Ender is this boy's name

"Buggers coming" so he's learning – lessons all are a game

To save the world he told his sister goodbye

Saying "Valentine I'll write you, don't cry"

"Valentine I'll write you, don't cry"
