Thin Lizzy – Diddy Levine (Richard Whitaker Mix) Lyrics

Diddy Levine (Richard Whitaker Mix) – Thin Lizzy Lyrics

In the later '40s

When Diddy Levine lived with Eunice King

He gave her the ring that she wore

Janice, the smiling daughter

Who came from a marriage way before

But Eunice was the father that she always saw

Though they never, never, never, never, never, never told her

She always knew the score

You see, kids wеre so much wiser after thе wars

But Diddy hadn't had enough

She had to get some more

On a rationed piece of paper

She wrote, "Eunice, I'm not sure"

And with her child in her arms

She went lookin' for a fling

Besides, she didn't like the name "Mrs. King"

First time that she heard Damper Dan

Was on the radio

Crooning at a volume

That was way, way down low

Diddy was surprised to hear

That Damper's name was Dan

Soon after, he was a-callin'

And he asked her, begged her, pleaded for her hand

Damper's heart was dampened

When Diddy answered "No, no, n-no, no"

But if she changed her mind

She said, "Damper, I'll let you know"

With her child in her arms

She went lookin' for a man

Besides, she didn't like the name "Damper Dan"

Ooh, yes

Janice, the smiling daughter

Grew up to be a teenage queen

Through all her mother's lovers

She kept the name Levine

Behind the picture house

She first made her scene

She liked a boy called Allister

Who was dating a friend called Celine

And Celine wasn't mad

When Janice came in between

But Allister got scared when he heard

And he joined the USA Marines

Inheritance, you see

Run through every family

And who is to say what is to be

Is any better?

Over and over it goes

Goodness and badness wind blow

Over and over, over and over

Over and over and over and over and over and over and over

The good winds and the bad winds blow

Oh
