Diddy Levine Lyrics - Thin Lizzy

In the later forties 

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 told her 

She always knew the score 

You see kids were so much wiser after the wars 

But Diddy hadn't have enough 

She had to get some more 

On a ration piece of paper, she wrote "Eunice, I'm not sure" 

And with her child in her arms 

She went looking for a fling 

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

The 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 calling 

And he asked, begged and pleaded for her hand 

Damper's heart was dampened 

When Diddy answered "no, no, no, no, no" 

But if she changed her mind, she said "Dan, I'll let you know" 

With her child in her arms 

She went looking for man 

Besides, she didn't like the name Damper Dan 

Janice the smiling daughter grew up to be a teenage queen 

Through all of her mother's lovers 

She kept the name Levine 

Behind the picture house she first made her scene 

With a boy called Allister 

Who was dating a friend called Celine 

Photos 

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, runs through every family 

Who is to say what is to be is any better 

Over and over it goes, goodness and badness winds blow 

Over and over, over and over 

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

The good and the bad winds blow
