The Residents - Benny the Bouncing Bump lyrics

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 a 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 souls 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 Bounce, bouncing Benny, bouncing Benny Benny bounce, Benny bounce, Benny bounce Benny bounce, Benny bounce, Benny bounce 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 to 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 Bounce, bouncing Benny, 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, follow that dream Follow that dream Benny follow that dream (x8)
