THE BENSON BURNER

Give it up to Mr George Benson, guitar guru ... wouldn't fool you

Running fingers like a soulful strut … gliding over gut

Might have “licked” Jack Mcduff, good Ole Wes ... so don't you mess

with da' undisputed king of jazz licks, mesmerised by his tricks

nimble and quick ... some Affirmation, even crossova into fusion

Hopping over the neck like a White Rabbit .. the Boss man's doing his bit

 

for jazz man … I'm a fan man, I'm a fan man

GB you're the best ... so I say people ... don't you mess with the best

 

You're Love x Love some say twice, but I say thrice

Sending my mind on a holiday, just like Weekend in La

Now then ... we're still Living inside your Love, like hand in glove

You Give Me the night and women their romance ... make us dance

Turning our Love around … sliding and spinnin' on the ground

With some sweet Kisses in the Moonlight, yes Give me the Night …

Give Me the Night... we ask for more we ask for more ….

 

jazz man … I'm a fan man, I'm a fan man

GB you're the best ... so I say people, don't you mess with the best

 

Summertime and winter time you're hot like a rhyme

Christian was your hero … made sure you 'aint no guitar zero

You say you got 'beat' mixing it with Kessel ... used his guitar vessel

Came Breezing into our world, a new way unfurled

We see GB In Fight, soaring to new heights,

You changed the world of jazz ... gave us more than razzmatazz,

you are our prize ,,. we see the reflections in your eyes

Encore we ask for more . We ask for more ...

 

jazz man … I'm a fan man, I'm a fan man

GB you're the best ... so I say people, don't you mess with the best

 

 

GB your'e the jazz man ... guitar maestro you have the plan man

From croonin' in Dublin, to your ancestral land, have us movin',

to the sounds of Guitar Man, play it on heavy for all your fans

Your a Nat case man … with Cole's songs you'll fling, pay homage to the King

Straight on to Armadillo, New Mexico on Route 66, .. giving us our daily fix …

you're the bomb man, with guitar …. come near or far

so Unforgettable your riffs … we revel on those Octave trips

Hey boy .. Hey Girl .. I want to welcome you into my world .. and say

 

we ask for more we ask for more,

jazz man … I'm a fan man, I'm a fan man

GB you're the best ... so I say people, don't you mess, with the best
