A long time ago,
A second lieutenant named Spears
Returned to the States
After being overseas for three years
His wife said, "Welcome home, dear,
But since you've been gone, you see
We've been blessed with a darling baby,
And the cute little one is he."
She took that baby in her arms
And says "Benny is his name."
He says "I've been gone away three years,
So darling can you please explain?
I won't feel so dumb,
So tell me, where this little Benny come from?"
And every time he'd ask, she's say "Benny's from heaven."
His face got red, but still he repeatedly say "The Benny's from heaven."
He said, I've asked the neighbors, that come around,
But no one can seem to remember - Benny comin' down.
And he said about a little thing like this,
I ordinarily wouldn't bother;
But one thing I know about children,
I'm sure they gotta have a father.
And when I look at Benny, I think is plain to see,
That Benny must be from heaven,
'Cause he darn sure ain't from me.
No, No, No
A Benny's from heaven.
A Benny's from heaven.
A Benny's from heaven.
And he said about a little thing like this,
I ordinarily wouldn't bother;
But one thing I know about children,
I'm sure they gotta have a father.
And when I look at Benny, I think is plain to see,
That Benny must be from heaven,
'Cause he darn sure ain't from me.
And Benny's must be from heaven,
'Cause he darn sure ain't from me.
Oh no.
