# BENNY BRAMBLE ### [Spoken Intro] *(Wind over the Yorkshire moors... distant sheep... boots on gravel... a low chuckle.)* "Evenin'... Name's Benny Bramble. Yorkshire born and bred. Funny thing... Soon as folks hear you're a werewolf... First thing they ask... 'You from London?' No. England's got trains, don't it? Now pull up a chair... I'll tell ya how it really is." --- ## Verse 1 I got an old stone cottage, Sittin' high above the dale. Got blackberry brambles by the garden fence, And a rusty bucket catchin' rain. Morning starts with bacon, Strong black tea in my cup. Most days life's downright peaceful... Till that full moon shows up. --- ## Chorus I'm Benny Bramble, Just makin' my way. One foot in the sunshine, One paw in the gray. I don't chase trouble, Trouble finds me. That's just life For old Benny Bramble. --- ## Verse 2 Folks think every werewolf Spends all night on the prowl. Truth is I'm apologizin' Every time I accidentally howl. Scared old Mrs. Higgins, Knocked over Farmer Pete. Lost another pair of trousers... Again... Can't catch a break this week. --- ## Chorus I'm Benny Bramble, Moon climbin' high. Hair gets longer, Don't ask why. I pay my taxes, Wave when folks pass. Just happens once a month... I get a little more... enthusiastic. --- ## Bridge Life'll hand you funny cards, Best learn to laugh 'em through. Could've been a vampire... Honestly... I'd rather be me. --- ## Final Chorus I'm Benny Bramble, Yorkshire through and through. If you hear somebody howlin'... Well... It might not be you. Pull up a chair, We'll share a laugh. Life's too short To fear the dark. --- ### [Spoken Outro] "Now if you'll excuse me... Moon's comin' up... ...and I'd best put the good dishes away." *(Soft laugh. Wind across the moors. A single friendly howl fades into the night.)*
