Benjamin Calypso
Oh no—not he!
How you can accuse him is a mystery
Save him—take me
Benjamin is straighter than the tall palm tree
I hear the steel drums sing their song
They're singing, "Man, you know you got it wrong!"
I hear the voice of the yellow bird
Singing in the tree, "This is quite absurd!"
Oh yes (oh yes)
It's true (it's true)
Benjamin is straighter than the big bamboo
No ifs (no ifs)
No buts (no buts)
Benjamin is honest as coconuts
Sure as the tide wash the golden sand
Benjamin is an innocent man
Sure as bananas need the sun
We are the 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 than the tall palm tree
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la!
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 than the tall palm tree
Sure as the tide wash the golden sand
Benjamin is an innocent man
Sure as bananas need the sun
We are the 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 than the tall palm tree
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la!
La-la-la-la-la, la-la
Oh no—not he!
How you can accuse him is a mystery (not he!)
Save him—take me
La-la-la-la-la, la-la
Each of the brothers fell to his knees
Show him some mercy, oh mighty one, please
He would not do this, he must have been framed
Jail us and beat us, we should be blamed
How you can accuse him is a mystery
Save him—take me
Benjamin is straighter than the tall palm tree
I hear the steel drums sing their song
They're singing, "Man, you know you got it wrong!"
I hear the voice of the yellow bird
Singing in the tree, "This is quite absurd!"
Oh yes (oh yes)
It's true (it's true)
Benjamin is straighter than the big bamboo
No ifs (no ifs)
No buts (no buts)
Benjamin is honest as coconuts
Sure as the tide wash the golden sand
Benjamin is an innocent man
Sure as bananas need the sun
We are the 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 than the tall palm tree
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la!
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 than the tall palm tree
Sure as the tide wash the golden sand
Benjamin is an innocent man
