Lyrics Benjamin Calypso - from Joseph And His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat - The London Theatre Orchestra and Cast

Oh no - not he
How can you 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've 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 wash the golden sand
Benjamin is an innocent man
Sure as bananas need the sun
We are the criminal guilty ones
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
Oh no (Oh no)
Not he (Not he)
How can you accuse him is a mystery
Save him (Save him)
Take me (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 ones
Oh no (Oh no)
Not he (Not he)
How can you accuse him is a mystery
Save him (Save him)
Take me (Take me)
Benjamin is straighter than the tall palm tree
Oh no
Not he
Not he...
(How you can accuse him is a mystery
Save him, take me)
