Sapaa - Benny's Big Break Lyrics

Now, see, not a lot of people know this
I was Benny's manager, back in the day
People like to say, sure, the Hondathon Sales Event
That was what really did him in
But that sort of flippancy was kind of his whole thing from the get-go
And by that I mean, he was, you know, an asshole

I met him in high school
We were in a band together called um, Benny and the BOO
You know, like what ghosts say
Cause, you know, he had a real fascination with the macabre at the time
But, you know, obviously that didn't work out
But he kept me around
Cause I was willing to go along with his ridiculous antics, you know
(You know, I don't know)

So right after graduation, he went off, and uh
He became a novelty songwriter for funerals and the like
By the name of DJ Funester
And I remembered this - he got one gig
For this family up in Massachusetts, this lady and her son
See, this old geezer - I'm sorry, her husband, her husband, I'm sorry
He had just, you know, done his thing
And, you know, they thought Benny was a classical musician or something
That he was gonna compose something tasteful for the old man

And, well, he didn't

Patrick Bibblebury Adams
That was the old guy's name
I dunno why I still remember that, but there you go
Father, friend, and frolicker
What a world
Fuckin' Benny
