To The Tune Of Don McLean's "American Pie" or 'Weird Al' Yankovic's "The Saga Begins"

A long, long time ago
In a galaxy far away
The 'Bots were under an attack
And they thought Optimus Prime and them
Could talk the Decepticons into
Maybe cutting them a little slack
But the 'Cons' response, it didn't thrill 'em
They loaded their weapons and tried to kill 'em
The Autobots escaped from that last
Along with Ironhide and Jazz
They took the "Ark" from its berth
And cruised the galaxy on an energon search
They all wound up on Ancient Earth
From there the war raged on...

Oh my, my, this here Starscream guy
May be a traitor someday later -- now he's just a fly guy
And he left his home to make some Autobots cry
Sayin' "Soon over the 'Cons I'll preside"
"Soon over the 'Cons I'll preside"

Did you know this F-15
Is the fastest thing you've ever seen
Can go Mach 2.8 they claim
Ahh, do you see him tryin' to take command
Out of Megatron's steely hand
Yeah, he's probably gonna depose him someday
Well, I know he built the Combaticons
And I've heard how fast his jet mode runs
And the 'Cons were outnumbered, it's true
So they made an ally or two
He was the Decepticons' flyin' ace
And the minute they attacked the Autobot base
Well, I knew who'd be the first in their face
Oh yes,it was our boy

We started singin'
My, my, this here Starscream guy
May be a traitor someday later -- now he's just a fly guy
And he left his home to make some Autobots cry
Sayin' "Soon over the 'Cons I'll preside"
"Soon over the 'Cons I'll preside"

Now Starscream was a treacherous one
In just about every show he was on
He tried to dethrone Megatron
He'd come up with some outrageous plan
To take control out of Megatron's hand
And he'd come so close to succeeding
But Megs always found out about his plannin'
And Screamer found himself at the end of his cannon
And Megs would flip his lid
Oh, insolence he forbid
Then he shot the Seeker a vicious leer
And Starscream said, "Now listen here
Just stick in your metal ear
I still will defy your rule"

We were singin'
My, my, this here Starscream guy
May be a traitor someday later -- now he's just a fly guy
And he left his home to make some Autobots cry
Sayin' "Soon over the 'Cons I'll preside"
"Soon over the 'Cons I'll preside"

The 'Cons caught a ride back to Cybertron
When Astrotrain told them to hop on
The humans are really glad they're gone
We all fought in that epic war
And it wasn't long at all before
'Ol Screamer booted Megs and took the reign
And in the end some humans died
Some ships blew up and some robots fried
A lot of folks were croakin'
Some Transformers were broken
And the 'Con that I admire most
Met up with Galvatron and now he's toast
Well I'm still here and he's a ghost
I guess I'll tell his tale

And I was singin'
My, my, this here Starscream guy
May be a traitor someday later -- now he's just a fly guy
And he left his home to make some Autobots cry
Sayin' "Soon over the 'Cons I'll preside"
"Soon over the 'Cons I'll preside"

We were singin'
My, my, this here Starscream guy
May be a traitor someday later--now he's just a fly guy
And he left his home to make some Autobots cry
Sayin' "Soon over the 'Cons I'll preside"
