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 singin', man, you know you got it wrong
I hear de' voice of de' yellow bird
Singin' 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
Oh no! Not he!
How you can accuse him is a mystery
Save him! Take me!
Benjamin is straighter dan' de' tall palm tree
