Lyrics

Oh no
Not he
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 singin', man, you know you got it wrong
I hear the voice of the yellow bird
Singin' 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 wash the golden sand
Benjamin is an innocent man
Sure as bananas need the sun
We are the criminal guilty one
Oh no (Oh no)
Not he (Not he)
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, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Oh no
Not he
How you can accuse him is a mystery
Save him
Take me
Benjamin is straighter than the tall palm tree
Sure as the tide wash the golden sand
Benjamin is an innocent man
Sure as bananas need the sun
We are the criminal guilty one
Oh no (Oh no)
Not he (Not he)
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, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Oh no
Not he
How you can accuse him is a mystery
Save him
Take me
La-la-la-la-la, la-la
