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
