The Day that Tik Tok Died

TO THE TUNE OF AMERICAN PIE

The Day that Tik Tok Died

A long, long time ago,

I can still remember when those pictures

Used to make me smile

And I knew if I had my chance,

I could make those pictures dance

And maybe make a little money for a while.

But January made us shiver

With every text message I’d deliver

Bad news in the in box

The high court killed our Tik Tok

I can’t remember if I remarked

When my app went suddenly dark

But something touched me deep inside,

The day our social media died.

CHORUS

We were singing

Bye bye our freedom to try

To promote all our selfies

And spread fake news’ lies

Who cares if it’s from China

Don’t be such a whiner

But this’ll be the day

My online self dies,

This will be the day that I cry.
