Picked up Mr Benn from his home Mr Benn of 52 Festive Road woke up this morning Only to save the world Put his only suit and his best boots on Picked up his bowler hat, it was on the rack All he did was go to the costume shop Trying to pretend he’s something that he’s not As if by magic the shopkeeper appeared Clean shaven and minus the beard It doesn’t matter if it’s a diver’s suit It’s none of your business if he's a clown that’s cute If he wants to dress as a chef I’m sure only he knows what’s best If he wants to be a caveman Then try to stop him coz I don’t think you can Or it might be a roman centurion If he gets barred from the shop he’s gonna notify the union He told me the only way he will stop Is if his shoe lace gets tied in knots Or if he gets a dizzy feel Spending too much time on that roulette wheel
