Benny's Big Break Lyrics

Now, see, not a lot of people know this

I was Benny's manager, back in the day

People like to say, sure, the Hondathon Sales Event

That was what really did him in

But that sort of flippancy was kind of his whole thing from the get-go

And by that I mean, he was, you know, an asshole

I met him in high school

We were in a band together called um, Benny and the BOO

You know, like what ghosts say

Cause, you know, he had a real fascination with the macabre at the time

But, you know, obviously that didn't work out

But he kept me around

Cause I was willing to go along with his ridiculous antics, you know

(You know, I don't know)

So right after graduation, he went off, and uh

He became a novelty songwriter for funerals and the like

By the name of DJ Funester

And I remembered this - he got one gig

For this family up in Massachusetts, this lady and her son

See, this old geezer - I'm sorry, her husband, her husband, I'm sorry

He had just, you know, done his thing

And, you know, they thought Benny was a classical musician or something

That he was gonna compose something tasteful for the old man

And, well, he didn't

Patrick Bibblebury Adams

That was the old guy's name

I dunno why I still remember that, but there you go

Father, friend, and frolicker

What a world

Fuckin' Benny
