(“Ah-ha, play it, boy, play it loud!”) [Verse 1] Oi poured, oi roared, oi swore oi’d stay, His smile wur sly, his songs wur sway— He kissed me knuckles, smelled o’ gin, Oi ask me pint, “What became o’ Benjamin?” “Ben-ja-min! Ben-ja-min!” [Chorusl] What became, what became, what became o’ Benjamin?! Oi shout, oi shout — but the wind won’t answer me! What became, what became, what became o’ Benjamin?! Drowned in the drink or the song or the sin? “C’mon now, shout it again!” “Ben-ja-min! Ben-ja-min!” [Verse 2] Oi wrote no notes, oi got no name, Oi left wit’ shame, he stayed wit’ fame, Did he vanish in vanishin’, slip like sand? [Bridge] Oi see him still, strummin’ strings by the shore, Oi begged meself, “don’t want no more.” But his song, it haunts, it hunts, it hangs— [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] What became, what became, what became o’ Benjamin?! Oi ask the gin, the sea, the wind, the din! What became, what became, what became o’ Benjamin?! Oi’ll never know — but oi’ll scream it agin! [Outro] “Ben-ja-min! Ben-ja-min!”
