My Friend Ben

Spoken: I'm gonna put together a band and it's gonna be real great. It's gonna sound just like Ben Folds Five with a piano and fuzzy bass and some drums and backing vocals and it's gonna kick ass!

I'm gonna put together a band,
in just a year or two,
I'm gonna show them all of the moves that my friend, Ben would use,
top of the bill, fill up the stands,
play all my songs for Julianne, man...

My Friend Ben,
tells me what to do,
My Friend Ben,
and the other two,
my best friend, Ben,
I wanna be just like you...

We're gonna rock,
rock underground all dressed up like the Cure,
I bought a keyboard, I learned a chord,
tomorrow I'll learn some more (3.6 more)...

I never knew music before,
the Trinity played,
I shouted for/four more...

My Friend Ben,
tells me what to do,
My Friend Ben,
and the other two,
my best friend, Ben,
I wanna be just like you...

I really do.

This music makes me feel,
47 inches high,
I know every single word,
I know there are three, there are not five...!

My Friend Ben,
tells me what to do,
My Friend Ben,
and the other two,
my best friend, Ben,
and, damn it, I cussed,
when I heard the band broke up,
I wanna be just like you.
