Benjamin Calypso Lyrics by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice

Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat - Original Soundtrack Album (Original Cast Recording)

1999

[All Brothers]
Oh no! Not he!
How you can accuse him is a mystery
Save him! Take me!
Benjamin is straighter dan' de' tall palm tree
[Judah]
I hear de' steel drums sing der' song
Dey're singin', man, you know you got it wrong
I hear de' voice of de' yellow bird
Singin' in de' tree, dis is quite absurd
[Judah, (Brothers)]
Oh yes!
(Oh yes!)
It's true!
(It's true!)
Benjamin is straighter dan' de' big bamboo
No ifs!
(No ifs!)
No buts!
(No buts!)
Benjamin is honest as coconuts
[Judah]
Sure as de' tide wash de' golden sand
Benjamin is an innocent man
Sure as bananas need de' sun
We are de' criminal guilty ones
[Judah, (Brothers)]
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 dan' de' 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
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 dan' de' tall palm tree
[Judah]
Sure as de' tide wash de' golden sand
Benjamin is an innocent man
Sure as bananas need de' sun
We are de' criminal guilty ones
[Judah, (Brothers)]
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 dan' de' 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
Oh no!
(Oh no!)
Not he!
(Not he!)
Not he
(How you can accuse him is a mystery, save him! Take me!)
Benjamin is straighter dan' de' tall palm tree
[Ensemble]
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
