Let me introduce you   I've heard that boredom's entered your life   And you're feelin' real low   Have you met Benny Bailey?   Well he's a fella that you should know      They tell me lassitude's has laid you low   An' you're losin' your grip   you must meet Benny Bailey   At least he's somebody who is hip      To cure an ennui, you need a bon nuit   It's part o' the joie de vie   And his attention, I'm loathe to mention   Is, incident'ly, available      And so if providence should decree   Who'll stand in the way   So you'll meet Benny Bailey   And you'll remember your lucky day      Background Vocals: Once you've met   You won't forget   No stuff   Benny's tough   (Repeat 1,2,3)      This could be your lucky day   Incident'ly, he's the sort   Tho' seen at court   Carries an awful lotta weight   In many less royal quarters   Filled with less than regal daughters   Quite the quixotic Romeo whom every    Filly'll know because they find his   Reputation wherever they go   Whether it's here   Or whether it's in another boudoir   Whee!   He's such a scandal, really   T' handle him demands a savoir fairer   And a great indulgence rarer   Than any that I've encountered surveyin' the scene   But never mind, I'll explain it later   The fact is that he's always ready to please   And that's aroused a lot o'chatter   But it really doesn't matter, not to him   No siree! It's 'bout as big t'him as any flea   He's gotta be maitre'd   Or so it seems to me   Wait'll y'meet, you'll see what I'm sayin'      Background Vocals: Meet this cat   He's where it's at   That's right, outta sight   Benny Bailey   He's no slouch   For this I'll vouch   He's cool, he's no fool      To cure an ennui   You need a bon nuit   It's part of the joie de vie      He's the kind o'cat people hear about   But in a second-handed way   That there's nothing really clear about      Let me introduce you   I've heard that boredom's entered your life   And you're feelin' real low   Have you met Benny Bailey?   Well he's a fella that you should know      They tell me lassitude's has laid you low   An' you're losin' your grip   you must meet Benny Bailey   At least he's somebody who is hip      We're glad you got to meet Benny Bailey   I'm happy fin'lly meeting with you
