Benjamin Calypso
Bb majorBb FF
Oh no - not he
C majorC FF
How you can accuse him is a mystery
Bb majorBb FF
Save him - take me
C majorC FF
Benjamin is straighter than the tall palm tree
FF Bb majorBb
I hear the steel drums sing their song
C majorC FF
They're singing man you know you've got it wrong
DmDm G minorGm
I hear the voice of the yellow bird
C majorC FF
Singing in the tree it is quite absurd
Bb majorBb FF
Oh, yes - its true
C majorC FF
Benjamin is straighter than the big bamboo
Bb majorBb FF
No ifs - No buts
C majorC FF
Benjamin is honest as coconuts
FF Bb majorBb
Sure as the tide wash the golden sand
C majorC FF
Benjamin is an innocent man
DmDm G minorGm
Sure as bananas need the sun
C majorC FF
We are the criminal guilty ones
Bb majorBb FF
Oh no - not he
C majorC FF
How you can accuse him is a mystery
Bb majorBb FF
Save him - take me
C majorC FF
Benjamin is straighter than the tall palm tree
Bb majorBb FF C majorC FF Bb majorBb FF C majorC FF
La la la la la la la la...
Bb majorBb FF
Oh no - not he
C majorC FF
How you can accuse him is a mystery
Bb majorBb FF
Save him - take me
C majorC FF
Benjamin is straighter than the tall palm tree
FF Bb majorBb
Sure as the tide wash the golden sand
C majorC FF
Benjamin is an innocent man
DmDm G minorGm
Sure as bananas need the sun
C majorC FF
We are the criminal guilty ones
Bb majorBb FF
Oh no - not he
C majorC FF
How you can accuse him is a mystery
Bb majorBb FF
Save him - take me
C majorC FF
Benjamin is straighter than the tall palm tree
Bb majorBb FF C majorC FF Bb majorBb FF C majorC FF
