EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER - Benny The Bouncer lyrics
rate meBenny was the bouncer at the palais de dance<br>He'd slash your granny's face up given half a chance.<br>He'd sell you back the pieces, all for less than half a quid<br>He thought he was the meanest-<br>Until he met with savage sid.<br><br>Now sidney was a greaser with some nasty roots<br>He poured a pint of guinness over benny's boots<br>Benny looked at sidney:<br>Sidney stared right back in his eye.<br>Sidney chose a switchblade<br>And benny got a cold meat pie.<br>Oh! what a terrible sight,<br>Much to the people's delight.<br>One hell of a fight.<br><br>Sidney grabbed a hatchet, buried it .... in benny's head.<br>The people gasped as he bled:<br>The end of a ted? <br><br>Well, they dragged him from the wreckage of the palais in bits.<br>They tried to stick together all the bits that would fit.<br>But some of him was missing<br>And part of him arrived too late,<br>So now he works for jesus<br>As the bouncer at st. peter's gate.
