"Blow the Man Up" is priceless. Thank you, Bert!

I found a scrap of paper in a garbage can out behind Don McLean's summer home, and was surprised to read:

Well them's the breaks, Miss American Cakes
Drove my Buick to the ford, tho' it ain't got no brakes
And southern flakes were drinking triple-thick shakes
Singin' this'll be the day my ass bakes
This'll be the day my ass bakes....

Some other lesser-known discarded first drafts:

I wanna go back to my little grass shack in Point Barrow, Alaska

Multiple personality syndrome strikes deep
Into your mind it will creep...

The prettiest girl I ever saw
Was chugging Michelob with Spaw

One pill makes you purple
And one pill makes you pink
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything, I think.

Where have all the onions gone?
