Lyrics
Up from the heart of the Gorbals he rose
Don't stand on his toes, 'cos everyone knows
Whenever you see the bend on his nose
We all sang Benny has been
The whole of the river sang Benny has been
Benny has been, Benny has been
Down in the City that never was mean
We all sang Benny had been.
Down to the shows Benny went as a youth
To fight in the booth, I'll tell you the truth
Many's a big man was short of a tooth
And the city sang Benny has been.
To Manchester City, young Benny went down
To fight Jackie Brown, he picked up the crown
He came back in triumph to old Glasgow town
And the city sang Benny has been.
He fought Small Montana, he floored Peter Kane.
Sent him back to train. Then downed him again
The Lynch pin of boxing inflicted more pain
And the city sang Benny has bern
The City had TB, the city had booze
Her Victims she'd choose, then send out the news.
That Benny would and then lose
And the city sang Benny has been
