Benjamin Calypso; Joseph All The Time

Benjamin, you nasty youth
Your crime has shocked me to the core
Never in my whole career
Have I encountered this before
Guards, seize him! Lock him in a cell
Throw the keys into the Nile as well.

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

Oh no not he
How you can accuse him is a mystery
Save him take him
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
Not he
How you can accuse him is a mystery
Save him
Take me
Benjamin is straighter than 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.
On 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 - not he
How you can accuse hi is a mystery
Save him - take me
La la la la la la la.

Joseph knew by this that 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
That Joseph, who you thought was dead, your brother
It's me?

Joseph, Joseph, is it really true?
Joseph, Joseph, is it really you
Joseph, Joseph.
