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

No ifs

Sure as the tide wash the golden sand

Sure as bananas need the sun
We are the criminal guilty ones
Oh no
