Let me introduce you

I've heard that boredom's entered your life

And you're feelin' real low

Have you met Benny Bailey?

Well he's a fella that you should know



They tell me lassitude's has laid you low

An' you're losin' your grip

you must meet Benny Bailey

At least he's somebody who is hip



To cure an ennui, you need a bon nuit

It's part o' the joie de vie

And his attention, I'm loathe to mention

Is, incident'ly, available



And so if providence should decree

Who'll stand in the way

So you'll meet Benny Bailey

And you'll remember your lucky day



Background Vocals: Once you've met

You won't forget

No stuff

Benny's tough

(Repeat 1,2,3)



This could be your lucky day

Incident'ly, he's the sort

Tho' seen at court

Carries an awful lotta weight

In many less royal quarters

Filled with less than regal daughters

Quite the quixotic Romeo whom every

Filly'll know because they find his

Reputation wherever they go

Whether it's here

Or whether it's in another boudoir

Whee!

He's such a scandal, really

T' handle him demands a savoir fairer

And a great indulgence rarer

Than any that I've encountered surveyin' the scene

But never mind, I'll explain it later

The fact is that he's always ready to please

And that's aroused a lot o'chatter

But it really doesn't matter, not to him

No siree! It's 'bout as big t'him as any flea

He's gotta be maitre'd

Or so it seems to me

Wait'll y'meet, you'll see what I'm sayin'



Background Vocals: Meet this cat

He's where it's at

That's right, outta sight

Benny Bailey

He's no slouch

For this I'll vouch

He's cool, he's no fool



To cure an ennui

You need a bon nuit

It's part of the joie de vie



He's the kind o'cat people hear about

But in a second-handed way

That there's nothing really clear about



Let me introduce you

I've heard that boredom's entered your life

And you're feelin' real low

Have you met Benny Bailey?

Well he's a fella that you should know



They tell me lassitude's has laid you low

An' you're losin' your grip

you must meet Benny Bailey

At least he's somebody who is hip



We're glad you got to meet Benny Bailey

I'm happy fin'lly meeting with you
