Lyrics

(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)
