Benjamin Calypso: Joseph & The Technicolour Dreamcoat Songtext
von Andrew Lloyd Webber

Oh no, not me
How you can accuse him is a mystery
Save him, take me
Benjamin is straighter than the tall palm tree

I hear the steel drums sing their song
They′re singing man you know you got it wrong
I hear the voice of the yellow bird
Singing in the tree this is quite absurd

Oh yes (oh yes), it's true (it′s true)
Benjamin is straighter than the big bamboo
No ifs (no ifs), no buts(no buts)
Benjamin is honest as coconuts

Sure as the tide washed the golden sand
Benjamin is an innocent man
Sure as bananas need the sun
We are the criminal-a guilty ones


Oh no (oh no), not me (not me)
How you can accuse him is a mystery
Save him (save him), take me (take me)
Benjamin is straighter than the tall palm tree

La-la-la-la-la, lana nana
La-la-la-la-la-laalaa
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

Oh no, not me
How you can accuse him is a mystery
Save him, take me
Benjamin is straighter than the tall palm tree

Sure as the tide washed the golden sand-a
Benjamin is an innocent-a-man-a
Sure as bananas need the sun
We are the criminal-a guilty ones

Oh no (oh no), not me (not me)
How you can accuse him is a mystery
Save him (save him), take me (take me)
Benjamin is straighter than the tall palm tree


La-la-la-la, lana nana nana
La-la-la-la-la-laalaa
Laaaa-ohwoh-oh-oh
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

Oh no, not me
(Not meeeeeeeee) How you can accuse him is a mystery
Save him, take me
La-la-la-la-la-lala
