π Lyrics
In the winter of '61, when the snow came down
The worst in 40 years, so they gathered their friends around
A turf log on the fire and whiskey in the jar
One lad on his fiddle and one on his guitar
Young Dinny, he would listen with his ear up to the door
He knew just what was missing, and he knew what he was for
So he went straight up to Walton's and put his money down
On a great big box Bertoni, the prettiest one in town
Hey big box Dinny, where'd you learn to play that thing?
When the girls find out what you're all about
You're gonna make 'em dance and sing
Hey big box Dinny, when you gonna come back home?
Since the world found out what you're all about
They can't leave you alone
So Dinny went off to see the world, and he played for kings and queens
Then one night found him in a club in the heart of New Orleans
He swallowed all that music and he tasted ΓtouffΓ©e
And after 15 Mardi Gras, they knew that he could play
Hey big box Dinny, where'd you learn to play that thing?
When the girls find out what you're all about
You're gonna make 'em dance and sing
Hey big box Dinny, when you gonna come back home?
Since the world found out what you're all about
They can't leave you alone, yeah
Well Dinny made some records with a swampy heart and soul
From the delta of the Liffey, he would let the good times roll
Given everything a nine stone man could give to the black and white
With his Irish squeezebox rock and roll, they packed in every night
Hey, big box Dinny, where'd you learn to play that thing?
When the girls find out what you're all about
You're gonna make 'em dance and sing
Hey, big box Dinny, when you gonna come back home?
Since the world found out what you're all about
They can't leave you alone
Hey, big box Dinny
Hey, big box Dinny
Hey, big box Dinny
The worst in 40 years, so they gathered their friends around
A turf log on the fire and whiskey in the jar
One lad on his fiddle and one on his guitar
Young Dinny, he would listen with his ear up to the door
He knew just what was missing, and he knew what he was for
So he went straight up to Walton's and put his money down
On a great big box Bertoni, the prettiest one in town
Hey big box Dinny, where'd you learn to play that thing?
When the girls find out what you're all about
You're gonna make 'em dance and sing
Hey big box Dinny, when you gonna come back home?
Since the world found out what you're all about
They can't leave you alone
So Dinny went off to see the world, and he played for kings and queens
Then one night found him in a club in the heart of New Orleans
He swallowed all that music and he tasted ΓtouffΓ©e

They can't leave you alone
Hey, big box Dinny
Hey, big box Dinny
Hey, big box Dinny
