Benjamin Calypso (Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat) Lyrics

Brothers
[Chorus]
Oh no - not he
How you can accuse him is a mystery
Save him - take me
Benjamin is straightr than the tall palm tree
Judah

[Verse 1]
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
Singing in the tree this is quite absurd
Oh yes

[Chorus]
Brothers
Oh yes

Judah
It's true

Brothers
It's true

Judah
Benjamin is straighter than the big bamboo
No ifs

Brothers
No ifs

Judah
No buts

Brothers
No buts

Judah
Benjamin is honest as coconuts

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Oh no

Brothers & Female Ensemble
Oh no

Judah
Not he

Brothers & Female Ensemble
Not he
How you can accuse him is a mystery

Judah
Save him

Brothers & Female Ensemble
Save him

Judah
Take me

Brothers & Female Ensemble
Take me
Benjamin is straighter than the tall palm tree

Judah, Brothers & Female Ensemble
Oh no
Not he
How can you accuse him is a mystery
Save him
Take me
Benjamin is straightr than the tall palm tree

[Verse 3]
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
Oh no

Brothers & Female Ensemble
Oh no

Judah
Not he

Brothers & Female Ensemble
Not he

Judah & Female Ensemble
How you can accuse him is a mystery

Judah
Save him

Brothers & Female Ensemble
Save him

Judah
Take me

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