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