Benjamin Calypso Songtext
von Andrew Lloyd Webber

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've 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 if's
No if′s
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
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
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
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
Not he!
Not he!
Not he!
How you can accuse him is a mystery
Save him!
Ooh-ooh
Take me!
Benjamin is straighter than the tall palm tree
Each of the brothers fell to his knees, oh
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
