about

Kafkaesque field holler for the #MeToo age

lyrics

Well this is the story of whistlin' Ben
WHo'd hustle the girls when they walked by him
Out on the corner, where he'd sit
He'd say things inappropriate

Oh whistlin Benny,
Whistle and hollar with a hound dog call
Make all the girls feel dirty and small
Your trying so hard for a date but you never get any,
Whistlin' Benny

Short gal, tall gal, poor gal, rich
Maybe she's single or maybe she's hitched
If she walks by where Ben can see
He'll critique her anatomy

After school one afternoon
Walkin' in the son comes Millie-June
But her skies turned gray and dark
When she caught Benny's lewd remark

Well whistlin' Ben got a tickle in his throat
His hair grew out to thick fur coat
Ears grew up knocked off his hat
And a tail came out from where he sat

Whistlin' Ben I have to say
He turned canine that very day
After the change he didn't stand so big
But instead of a dog he could of been a pig
