Letra Benjamin Calypso de Joseph original

(Brothers)
Oh no - not he
How you can accuse him is a mystery
Save him - take me
Benjamin is straighter 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
Whispering to me this is quite absurd

(Judah & Brothers)
Oh, yes - it's true
Benjamin is straighter than the big bamboo
No ifs - No buts
Benjamin is honest as coconuts

(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

(Judah, Brothers & Female Ensemble)
Oh no - not he
How you can accuse him is a mystery
Save him - take me
Benjamin is straighter 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

(Judah, Brothers & Female Ensemble)
Oh no - not he
How you can accuse him is a mystery
Save him - take me
Benjamin is straighter than the tall palm tree

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