Lyrics to "Ben!"

From Episode 2: The World of Ben Franklin
The Adventures of Dave and Augie

January 1706
Born a Capricorn (Capricorn)
Growing up he didn’t miss a trick.
He had it going on.

Became a man and owned a printing shop.
In Philadelphi-a ( Philadelphia)
Ingenous mind you just couldn’t stop
Is what I’m telling ye!

Ben (Ben!)
Benjamin Franklin (Benjamin Franklin!)
He signed the Declaration of Independence (Benjamin Franklin)
Ben (Ben!)
Benjamin Franklin (Benjamin Franklin!)
The dude is so cool his picture’s on a hundred dollar bill

Musical Interlude

Spoken: Go Wolfgang Go!

He had many claims to fame
Those outta sight bifocals
And so as not to forget his name
Something called the Franklin Stove (Franklin Stove)

He started the first hospital
And firefighting company
And in a place named Carpenters’ Hall
The first public library

Ben (Ben!)
Benjamin Franklin (Benjamin Franklin!)
A Founding Father, one of this country’s best. (Benjamin Franklin)
Ben (Ben!)
Benjamin Franklin (Benjamin Franklin!)
We liked him so much we named a bunch of stuff for him.

Musical Interlude

Spoken: Alright let’s kick this old school.

Ben (Ben!)
Benjamin Franklin (Benjamin Franklin!)
He signed the Declaration of Independence (Benjamin Franklin)
I’m talking about Ben (Ben!)
Benjamin Franklin (Benjamin Franklin!)
The dude is so cool his picture’s on a hundred dollar bill

Ben (Ben!)
What’s his name? (Benjamin Franklin!) Benjamin Franklin
A Founding Father, one of this country’s best. (Benjamin Franklin)
Ben (Ben!)
Benjamin Franklin (Benjamin Franklin!)
We liked him so much, that we named a bunch of stuff for him.
