I am but your fool they say
Something like a child
But today is my birthday
And they will be nice
I'm but your fool they say
True that's what I think
My mind is drifting away
I feel that I sink...

See Benji... is a fool
A child who's thirty years old
Who would go dressed in the pool
They are telling him there is gold
See Benji
See Benji...

Candy is a friend of mine
She sees what I see
She knows what's up in my mind
She won't laugh at me
Candy is a friend of mine
She sees what I see
Sometimes we play seek and hide
She makes me happy...

Candy... Candy
Candy is a friend of mine
I like the touch of her voice
Candy...

But today is my birthday
And they might be nice
She knows what's up in my mind
She smells like a tree

See old Benji... is a fool
A child who's thirty years old
Who would go dressed in the pool
They are telling him there is gold

See Benji,
Just look at him
Candy...
Candy...

I'm but a fool they say
Something like a child... eh
But today is my birthday
And they will be... eh nice
I'm but your fool they say
True that's when I think
My mind is drifting away

I feel... that I... I'll sink
