Benjamin Calypso Songtext

von Original German Cast of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

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 singing man you know you've got it wrong
I hear the voice of the yellow bird
Singing in the tree it is quite absurd

Oh, yes, it's true
Benjamin is straighter than the big bamboo
No ifs, 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, not he
How you can accuse him is a mystery?
Save him, take me
Benjamin is straighter than the tall palm tree
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 ones

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

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

Each of the brothers fell to his knees
Show him some mercy
Oh mighty one, please
He would not do this
He must have been framed
Jail us and beat us
We should be blamed

And Joseph knew by this
His brothers now were honest men
The time had come at last to reunite them all again
Can't you recognise my face?
Is it hard to see?
The Joseph who you thought was dead
Your brother, is me
Joseph, Joseph
Is it really true?
Joseph, Joseph
Is it really you?
Joseph, Joseph
