It was him and her, Benjamin was left alone with someone's girlfriend.
                Bb
I can't remember, her name but she looked like,
F                         Bb              F
The girl you saw last night at the bus who,
                         Bb                            C
Made you sober made you, mad made you happy made you sad
            Dm           Bb
She carried bad news in, her big blue handbag
C     Dm  Bb
Oh oh no, what's a boy to do

Ah he watched in awe as she picked up cigarette butts from the floor
  F                      Bb                      F
Too impatient to purchase her own pack besides she
                    Bb                                  F
Hates using her own things, and Benjamin well he just grinned.
                           Bb
He had an inkling she would be the death of him.
C             Dm           Bb                C           Dm        Bb
But he's too happy well and truly sweet and how could he go back to sucking lemons.
C     Dm        Bb
Oh oh no
C     Dm        Bb
Oh oh no

As they passed, paths cherry cross she gave a blind man tuppence
                         Bb                       F
For his sunglasses as she told him it was a tenner.
                       Bb                             F                      Bb
Impatient little hustler and they sat in the rain and waited for the sun to come to make it seem
 more fun
    C        Dm         Bb
And they sat in the rain,
    C            Dm         Bb
she put a blind man's glasses on him.
C     Dm        Bb
Oh oh no
C     Dm        Bb
Oh oh no
                                Gm
What's a boy to do with you?
