Benny The Bouncer Lyrics

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Benny was the bouncer at the Palais de Dance He'd slash his granny's face up, given half a chance He’d sell you back the pieces, all for less than half a quid He thought he was the meanest, until he met with Savage Sid
Now Sidney was a greaser with some nasty roots He poured a pint of Guinness over Benny's boots Benny looked at Sidney, Sidney stared right back in his eye Sidney chose a switchblade and Benny got a cold meat pie
Oh! what a terrible sight Much to the people's delight One hell of a fight
Sidney grabbed an hatchet, buried it in Benny's head The people gasped as he bled, the end of a Ted
Well, they dragged him from the wreckage of the Palais in bits And they tried to stick together all the bits that would fit But some of him was missing and part of him arrived too late So now he works for Jesus, as the bouncer at St. Peter's Gate
