Benedict Rides

[Verse 1: Walter Hawkins]
Just when he's congratulated himself
For being a person on whom to depend
Along comes a trusting soul
And Benedict rides again
When he's managed to convince himself
That he's an original flower child's friend
Greed knocks on the garden gate
And Benedict rides again

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Walter Hawkins]
Once he thinks he's got it all together
Learnt ten days about rice and studying Zen
Some head gives him a brownie
Benedict rides again, yeah
After he's marched in a demonstration
To protest war and peace for all men
Then he joins the ROTC, y'all
And Benedict rides again, yeah

[Outro: Walter Hawkins]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Keep on riding, y'all, yeah, yeah, well, well
Mhm, mmm
Well, yeah, oh yeah
Ride, Benedict rides again, yeah
Ride, Benedict rides again, yeah
Ride, Benedict rides again, yeah
Ride, Benedict rides again, yeah
Ride, Benedict rides again
