LyricMeaning

Ben, In The Pen
Stompin' Tom Connors

They call me Ben here in the pen

Where ya take the guff and ya suffer

But I'll be free when I'm 53

And I bet I'll be a lot tougher, I'll bet I'll be a lot tougher


When I was a lad I was really bad

It wasn't smart to be good

I beat up my dog, choked my frog

I acted just as mean as I could


I hit all the girls and put gum in her curls

Cause I liked to hear 'em cry and plea

I'd punch a little boys and steal all their toys

Cause I knew they wern't smarter than me


Yeh, They call me Ben here in the pen

Where ya take the guff and ya suffer

But I'll be free when I'm 53

And I bet I'll be a lot tougher, I'll bet I'll be a lot tougher


When I was 16 I was really mean

I could scrap at the toss of a coin

I was leader of a gang, Rough 'Rangitangs

Ya had to be a good theif to join


Yeah we had the black jackets and the motorbikes

And we forced all the girls to... Skip school

And the cops they'd all tried to sympathize

An' we told them how our parents were so cruel


Yeh, They call me Ben here in the pen

Where ya take the guff and ya suffer

But I'll be free when I'm 53

And I bet I'll be a lot tougher, I'll bet I'll be a lot tougher


When I turned 21 I had to have a gun

Cause I planned me a robbery one day

And the girlfriend said that she'd rather be dead

Than to hang around with a guy like me


Well I granted her wish and dumped her in with the fish

Then I went to meet Frank

Yeah, that's the same day that I shot and killed me the cop

He didn't want to let me into the bank


Yeh, They call me Ben here in the pen

Where ya take the guff and ya suffer

But I'll be free when I'm 53

And I bet I'll be a lot tougher, I hope I'll be a lot tougher


Aah, what's the use

I guess I'm not a very good bluffer

Aah, back to that hammer man.
