I am but your fool they say
Something like a child
But today is my birthday
And they will be nice
I'm but your fool they say
True that's what I think
My mind is drifting away
I feel that I sink…

See Benji… Is a fool
A child who's thirty years old
Who would go dressed in the pool
They are telling him there is gold
See Benji
See Benji…

Candy is a friend of mine
She sees what I see
She knows what's up in my mind
She won't laugh at me
Candy is a friend of mine
She sees what I see
Sometimes we play seek and hide
She makes me happy…

Candy… Candy
Candy is a friend of mine
I like the touch of her voice
Candy…

But today is my birthday
And they might be nice
She knows what's up in my mind
She smells like a tree

See old Benji… Is a fool
A child who's thirty years old
Who would go dressed in the pool
They are telling him there is gold

See Benji,
Just look at him
Candy…
Candy…

I'm but a fool they say
Something like a child… Eh
But today is my birthday
And they will be… Eh nice
I'm but your fool they say
True that's when I think
My mind is drifting away

I feel… That I… I'll sink
