Benjamin Calypso

[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!)
