Victoria And Bennie "Victoria and Bennie" by James Dignan to the tune of "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" (Billy Joel) A man from the north, a man wearing red, With a strange brown hat upon his head You can see him in the street, greeting strangers that he meets, With a smile on his face A man from the States, a man of the law, He looks like he has seen it all before They'll help each other on their way, Through their Chicago working day. "Things are OK with me these days, moved south, into the city Got a new life, got some new friends and the wolf is fine Lost my dad a while ago, But he comes back, I did not know He could ever talk to me after he had died. You remember those days hanging out at the library? Seal-skin jackets, fur-lined boots and skis? Pick up my guitar, sing a song about riding forever Cold milk, northern lights, those long Inuvik winter nights" Victoria & Bennie had met in the arctic about a dozen or so years before A big robbery was the reason that she was on the run from the law The temperature dropped like a stone, They knew that they'd freeze if they stayed on their own And they huddled for warmth so that they had a chance to survive Oh, but being together kindled a spark deep inside Whoaoh, whoaoh whoaohohohohoh Whoaoh, whoaoh whoaohohohohoh Victoria and Bennie met once again in the summer of '95, One little glance was enough to announce that their love was alive He felt a strange kind of euphoria, Stopped fighting crime just to be with Victoria everyone knew he had nothing but her on his mind Oh, maybe the mountie was waving crime-fighting goodbye Whoaoh, whoaoh whoaohohohohoh Whoaoh, whoaoh whoaohohohohoh Well she trashed his apartment and she shot his wolf But Ben still thought that she was the one When he caught her she, said that Jolly was free, And she had to stay on the run But then at the zoo, she shot Jolly too, And she did it with Ben Fraser's gun Whoaohoh, whoaohoh - (Rock & Roll!) When the FBI said that Victoria was dead, Then Ben found it hard to explain, And then she framed Vecchio with a key in the snow And a bundle of money to claim, And because he was shot we can't say whether or not Ben would really have got on that train, Whoaohoh, whoaohoh Vicky & Bennie had had it already by the summer of '95 And I didn't know by the end of the show If he'd still be alive Everyone thought he was crazy, Ray could see she was a dangerous lady But we always hoped that he'd still find some way to survive And that's all I know about Vicky & Benny I can't tell you more cause I told you already But here we are standing waving Victoria goodbye Whoaoh, whoaoh whoaohohohohoh Whoaoh, whoaoh whoaohohohohoh A man wearing red, in the USA, Fighting windy city crime each day Due south from Yukon's arctic snow To our favourite TV show...
