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...
