Mathematical Pi - Arthur Benjamin Lyrics transcribed from his Mathemagical show at the World Science Festival 2009: http://vimeo.com/6645221 Chords taken from Don McLean's "American Pie" (ver 2): /tabs/d/don_mclean/american_pie_ver2_crd.htm A long long time ago I can still remember how my math class used to make me snore 'cause every number we would meet would terminate or just repeat but maybe there were numbers that did more but then my teacher said "I dare ya'" to try to find the circle's area despite my every action I couldn't find a fraction I can't remember if I cried the more I tried or circumscribed but something touched me deep inside the day I learned of pi oh pi, pi mathematical pi twice eleven over seven is a mighty fine try a good old fraction you may hope to supply but the decimal expansion won't die the decimal expansion won't die pi, pi mathematical pi 3.141592653589 a good old fraction you may hope to define but the decimal expansion won't die
