Benny, pass me the remote control
I just have to escape
Happy, only in the afternoon
That's when I pass away

Oh boy, those were the days
Those of the holiday light

Peggy, what have you done with your hair
I just have to go now
Preacher, tell me about your TV show
The apple knows his tree

Oh boy, those were the days
Those of the holiday light

Peggy, I'm not kidding when I say
That I really need a beer
Oh god, I'm really tired of this song
But it helps me get along

Benny never learnt to fly
