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
|
|
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
|
