Residents - Bouncing Benny lyrics

rate me

Seeing that his eyes were empty under half closed lids,<br />

Made it all the more disturbing knowing Benny hid<br />

A bump that looked like clods of dirt inside some sickly lung<br />

That barely peeked beneath his shirt and twitched like Toto's tongue.<br />

For fifty cents inside a tent adjacent to the rest,<br />

The weaker soul could hide their eyes while Benny bared his chest;<br />

He rubbed the bump with oleo and little bits of meat<br />

And stroked the shape as it extended down towards his feet.<br />

Bounce Benny bounce Bouncing Benny<br />

He would put a record on then go into a trance<br />

Until he heard his mother's favorite polka then he danced;<br />

The record player went too fast but Benny didn't care,<br />

He simply bounced around the room while people stood and stared.<br />

Benny really only cared about one single thing -<br />

He collected magazines called "Women in the Ring";<br />

He kept them all in plastic bags and everybody said<br />

That Benny talked to them at night before he went to bed.<br />

Bounce Benny bounce Bouncing Benny<br />

I need someone to wrestle with she'd have to wear a hood,<br />

And hold me in a hammerlock if she was feeling good.<br />

She'd probably have a ponytail that stuck out from the back<br />

And I bet her eyes would shine - right when she attacked;<br />

She might be kind of mean some times and act like we weren't friends,<br />

But when the match was over we'd be buddies till the end;<br />

I've got to go! I've got to go! I know that she is there -<br />

Waiting in a ring for me to hug her like a bear.<br />

Follow that dream Benny follow that dream...
