Benjamin Calypso - The Colored Music, Tune Robbers, The World-Band

Oh no -- not he How you can accuse him is a mystery

Save him -- take me Benjamin is straighter dan de tall palm tree

I hear de steel drums sing dere song

Dey singing man you know you got it wrong

I hear de voice of de yellow bird

Singing in de tree dis is quite absurd

Oh yes -- it’s true

Benjamin is straighter dan de big bamboo

No ifs, 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 -- not he How you can accuse him is a mystery

Save him -- take me Benjamin is straighter dan de tall palm tree
