  • He is tough but fair
    he's got bedhead hair
    he's the dude to call
    if you're in despair
    if your Manko-chan
    has upset the Man
    and the cops come round
    and they cuff your hands
    call Ben, Yamaben, Yamaben, Yamaben, Yamaben
    Ben, Yamaben, Yamaben, Yamaben, Yamaben

    He likes business suits
    he hates purple tights
    he stands up in court
    on the rock of right
    he suffers no fools
    he rarely smiles
    but if you're up against the wall
    and your truth is on trial
    call Ben, Yamaben, Yamaben, Yamaben, Yamaben
    Ben, Yamaben, Yamaben, Yamaben, Yamaben

    He's got a warrior soul
    a rhinocerous hide
    he's what happens when the law
    and HP Lovecraft collide
    he digs anime girls
    he likes WB Yeats
    and if your neck's on the line
    and you're facing your fate
    call Ben, Yamaben, Yamaben, Yamaben, Yamaben
    Ben, Yamaben, Yamaben, Yamaben, Yamaben

    He's a yamaguchi man
    he's a hoochie coochie man
    He's the chairman of the Manga Party

    Ben, Yamaben, Yamaben, Yamaben, Yamaben
    Ben, Yamaben, Yamaben, Yamaben, Yamaben Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
