Bouncing Benny Lyrics - Residents

Seeing that his eyes were empty under half closed lids, 

Made it all the more disturbing knowing Benny hid 

A bump that looked like clods of dirt inside some sickly lung 

That barely peeked beneath his shirt and twitched like Toto's tongue. 

For fifty cents inside a tent adjacent to the rest, 

The weaker soul could hide their eyes while Benny bared his chest; 

He rubbed the bump with oleo and little bits of meat 

And stroked the shape as it extended down towards his feet. 

Bounce Benny bounce Bouncing Benny 

He would put a record on then go into a trance 

Until he heard his mother's favorite polka then he danced; 

The record player went too fast but Benny didn't care, 

He simply bounced around the room while people stood and stared. 

Benny really only cared about one single thing - 

He collected magazines called "Women in the Ring"; 

He kept them all in plastic bags and everybody said 

That Benny talked to them at night before he went to bed. 

Bounce Benny bounce Bouncing Benny 

I need someone to wrestle with she'd have to wear a hood, 

And hold me in a hammerlock if she was feeling good. 

She'd probably have a ponytail that stuck out from the back 

And I bet her eyes would shine - right when she attacked; 

She might be kind of mean some times and act like we weren't friends, 

But when the match was over we'd be buddies till the end; 

I've got to go! I've got to go! I know that she is there - 

Waiting in a ring for me to hug her like a bear. 

Follow that dream Benny follow that dream...
