Song for Gaza: B-B-B-Benji and his jets




Hey! Kids shake in fear together

The spotlight’s picked out someone

That’s been known to favour terror

We’ll kill some al Fatah folks tonight

So stick around

You’re gonna hear loud bangs tonight, then walls falling down


Say, Biden and Blinken. Will you scold them yet?

Ooh, but Joe’s so spaced out.

B-B-B-Benji and his jets.

Oh, but they’re weird and arrogant.

Oh, Benji is really keen.

He’s got electric bombs, a hobnail boot.

You know. You see it on your mobile phones.

Benji and his jets.


Gazan kids lose limbs and parents.

Maybe they’re blinded.

But Benji wants them stateless.

They want to survive. Let them survive this wrong.

Where they lose their parents out in the streets.

So who’s right and who’s wrong?


Say, Biden and Blinken. Will you scold them yet?

Ooh, but Joe’s so spaced out.

B-B-B-Benji and his jets.

Oh, but they’re weird and arrogant.

Oh, Benji is really keen.

He’s got electric bombs, a hobnail boot.

You know. You see it on your mobile phones.

Benji and his jets.


With apologies to Elton John and Bernie Taupin
