The Alan Peters Orchestra And Chorus - Benjamin Calypso

Oh no not he!
How can you 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 can you accuse him is a mystery
Save him (save him)
Take me (take me)
Benjamin is straighter than the tall palm tree

La-la-la, na-na na-na-na-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 can you accuse him is a mystery
Save himtake 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 can you accuse him is a mystery
Save him (save him)
Take me (take me)
Benjamin is straighter than the tall palm tree

La-la-la, na-na-na-na-na na-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!
(Not he!) How can you accuse him is a mystery
Save him take me
La-la-la-la-la, la-la
