(I know my lingo)
Ben, he knows his lingo
Ben knows his lingo
Yeah we didn't hit the jackpot like bingo
But Ben knows his lingo
Ben: "I know my lingo
I know my lingo"
Yeah didn't hit the jackpot like bingo
But Ben knows his
Lingo
Do you speak the lingo?
Do you know your lingo?
Have you got the lingo?
Listen, watch my lingo:
We’ll show showbiz that new flow
That made Swan Centre (tahh) blow
Beastly Boys, Warner bros
Making noise on a TV show
But not too long ago
The only ones you got to know
Received Pronounciation classes
In a London studio
But what about Scotty, Yorkie, Beastly
And 1 in 6 with disability
On the Last Leg, they lose rent
In paid work: only 5%
But Ben’s got Hart, he's work in progress
It's been hard, a lot to digest
Sun you'll flower, like a Rose bloom
Jones / Ayling-Ellis, Ben Warner too
He knows his lingo
Ben knows his lingo
Didn't hit the jackpot like bingo
But Ben knows his lingo
Ben: “I know my lingo
I know my lingo"
He didn't hit the jackpot
But the kid grow
To a man who knows his lingo
"I know my lingo"
Ben knows
It takes two to tango
Me and Ben like Rambo
Smalltown dream in Media City
Shots in the can and back home
There's a lot a citizen can't do
"Stay out of the edit room!"
We'll see what they let through
But I guarantee Ben got 4-letter words like F
U C if you Tweet nastily 'bout his speech
If you wanna take shots, send for me K
GCSE said that I was A*
Ben was a G, I’m the one who got parred!
On Wordle round, just like the last
It’s the library (shhh) "I gotta put in some hours"
Not sat in the pub on my bottle and glass
Like Scotty would say: it’s a game of two halves
(It's a wrap)
Game of two halves
Life's a game of two halves
You're only as good as your last
Game of two halves
(It's a rap)
Game of two halves
You're only as good as your last
That's how the thing go when
(It's a rap)
You're only as good as your lingo
"I know my lingo"
(Ben) "I know my lingo"
He knows his lingo
Ben knows his lingo
("I know my lingo”)
We didn't hit the jackpot like bingo
But Ben knows his lingo
(It’s a wrap)
