Benjamin Calypso Lyrics

BROTHERS (Napthali sings lead):

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
