Lyrics: Jared Nishikawa
Music and Arrangement: Geoff Byrd and Josh Millman

Pie as a pastry, crumbles in the hand
Pie as a currency, far off land
Pi as a letter from ancient Greece
Pi as a number of infinite degrees

Pie is tasty when it comes from the baker
Pie is worthless out of India’s acres
Pi is sixteenth after alpha beta gamma
Pi written out is an endless panorama

Three point one four one five nine
Two six five three five eight nine . . .
Seven nine three two eight six four
Three five eight nine three four four

Two pi’s make a circle complete
Why do the digits never repeat?
Why is it, squared, pi is grammar deplete?
Pi covers a circle, and the reason is neat, (because)

Three point one four one five nine
Two six five three five eight nine . . .
Seven nine three two eight six four
Three five eight nine three four four
