Tim Rice - Benjamin Calypso lyrics

[BROTHERS] Oh no! Not he! How you can accuse him is a mystery Save him! Take me! Benjamin is straighter dan' de' tall palm tree [JUDAH] I hear de steel drums sing der' song Dey're sing-in' man you know you got it wrong I hear de voice of de yellow bird Sing-in' in de tree, dis is quite absurd Oh yes! (Oh yes!) It's true! (It's true!) Benjamin is straighter dan de big bamboo No ifs! (No ifs!) No buts! (No buts!) Benjamin is honest as coconuts Sure as de tide wash de golden sand Benjamin is an innocent man Sure as bananas need de sun We are de criminal guilty ones Oh no! (Oh no!) Not he! (Not he!) How you can accuse him is a mystery Save him! (Save him!) Take me! (Take me!) Benjamin is straighter dan de tall palm tree La la la la la... Oh no! (Oh no!) Not he! (Not he!) How you can accuse him is a mystery Save him! (Save him!) Take me! (Take me!) Benjamin is straighter dan de tall palm tree Sure as de tide wash de golden sand Benjamin is an innocent man Sure as bananas need de sun We are de criminal guilty ones Oh no! (Oh no!) Not he! (Not he!) How you can accuse him is a mystery Save him! (Save him!) Take me! (Take me!) Benjamin is straighter dan de tall palm tree La la la la la... Oh no! (Oh no!) Not he! (Not he!) How you can accuse him is a mystery Save him! (Save him!) Take me! (Take me!) La la la la la la la
