Benny's Place| Donated by a friend of the page. |

| Now there was just my daughter and me when the hoodlums came in, |
| They took the jukebox and the money out of the till, |
| And when they went out through the door my daughter said, "Pa, |
| I hung onto a fifty dollar bill." |
| I said, "Now how in the heck did you do that?" |
| "Well I was sitting on it," said my daughter Nell. |
| I said, "If only your dear sweet mother had been here, |
| We could have saved the jukebox as well." |
|
| But at Benny's place last night at ten, |
| Big Chief Sitting Bull blew in, |
| He had a plate of beans and then he blew out again, |
| You'll like it down in Benny's place. |
|
| Now I went to see Pete about getting some meat |
| From the barbeque on Saturday night, |
| When this English rose with a turned up nose |
| Came in from the caravan site. |
| Now Pete said to me, "Sire I pray thee |
| What be that fair maiden's want," |
| She stuck her bucket on the counter and said, "A pound to fill it," |
| And Pete said, "A pound you don't." |
|
| But Benny's girls are real well bred, |
| We like them in blue and we like them in red, |
| We love them the best when we got them in green, |
| You'll like it down in Benny's Place. |
|
| Now six Hell's Angels came in here one night |
| And started picking on some little guy, |
| Now they pulled his hair and then they pushed him off his chair |
| And when he left I thought he was going to cry. |
| One Hell's Angel said, "He ain't much of a man |
| To let a gang of us do just what it likes," |
| I said, "He ain't much of a driver 'cause he just backed his truck over |
| Six brand new motor bikes." |
|
| But at Benny's place we never get tight, |
| They can drink thirty pints and they're still alright, |
| But we did have one fellow burst last night, |
| You'll like it down in Benny's Place. |
|
| Now I saw Charlie parked outside in his car |
| I said, "Now tell me where's your beautiful wife?" |
| I said, "That woman of yours she just radiates happiness, |
| She radiates the charm of life. |
| Now she radiates wit and she radiates wisdom, |
| She radiates joy when she's speaking,' |
| He said, "That's great but at the moment, mate, |
| My radiator is leaking." |
|
| But at Benny's place you get pork and beans, |
| The waitresses are all the beauty queens, |
| They all walk around in them open neck jeans, |
| Come on down to Benny's, come and spend your pennies, |
| You'll like it down in Benny's place. |
