Verse 1 Mr. Benson, may I bend your ear? I’m trying to find a hook but I’m not yet there But I’ll get there, an internal pledge of liquid gold And sell the secrets you have told Of people and the places you have seen Verse 2 When your glasses almost empty Yes, I’ll stand another round Well, if you’ll tell me, come on, tell me All the notes I’ve written wasn’t about the right play that I thought about I’m never gonna get my Shakespeare day Chorus Oh Mr. Benson, why is no one listening to you? Oh Mr. Benson, what if everything you say is true? Verse 3 / Recap Just a recap from the start You told the story from the heart That’s what you told me when you told me That your mum was really Norma Jean She was the star of Silver screen She kept you secret, packed you off and sold Mr. Benson threw another beer You said your father is far from here He’s up there… Where’s up there? You have hinted that he is Jimmy Dean The evidence I haven’t seen Excuse me, now my cab is on its way Chorus Oh Mr. Benson, why is no one listening to you? Oh Mr. Benson, what if everything you say is true? Verse 4 Mr. Benson, I’ve been thinking all the time That we’ve been drinking, it’s a story, it’s a story But my mind is working overtime With each and every crazy line Take another shot to see what we can see As he fumbled with his glass And every customer that passed Began to tell me that he’d tell me That he infiltrated government It build it up with new cement And change the way that people liked to think Verse 5 Mr. Benson’s aspirations, all his trials and tribulations That he spoke of, yes he spoke of Misguided, lost, a fairytale, not plausible A wash with ale, no editor would take this as a fact Chorus Oh Mr. Benson, why is no one listening to you? Oh Mr. Benson, what if everything you say is true? Verse 6 / Ending Mr. Benson pours the final round For all the friends that he has found It’s the last drink, it’s the last drink One telling kiss, one last deny It’s closing time, good night, goodbye When dawn arose, they turned, and he was gone Chorus x2 (Outro) Oh Mr. Benson, why is no one listening to you? Oh Mr. Benson, what if everything you say is true?
