Benjamin Calypso Lyrics

Brothers

Oh no - not he
How can you accuse him is a mystery
Save him - take me
Benjamin is straightr than the tall palm tree
Judah

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

Brothers

Oh yes
Judah

It's true
Brothers

It's true
Judah

Benjamin is straighter than the big bamboo
No ifs
Brothers

No ifs
Judah

No buts
Brothers

No buts
Judah

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

Brothers & Female Ensemble

Oh no
Judah

Not he
Brothers & Female Ensemble

Not he
How you can accuse him is a mystery
Judah

Save him
Brothers & Female Ensemble

Save him
Judah

Take me
Brothers & Female Ensemble

Take me
Benjamin is straighter than the tall palm tree
Judah, Brothers & Female Ensemble

Oh no
Not he
How can you accuse him is a mystery
Save him
Take me
Benjamin is straightr than the tall palm tree
Judah

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

Brothers & Female Ensemble

Oh no
Judah

Not he
Brothers & Female Ensemble

Not he
Judah & Female Ensemble

How you can accuse him is a mystery
Judah

Save him
Brothers & Female Ensemble

Save him
Judah

Take me
Judah, Brothers & Female Ensemble

Take me
Benjamin is straighter than the tall palm tree
Oh no - not he
How can you accuse him is a mystery
Save him - take me
La la la la la la la
