dela with a d - bendelacreme lyrics

[dela]
it’s dela with a “d” not ben with a “b”
’cause ben with a “b” goes “buh” not “duh”
it’s “b” instead of “d”, “she” instead of “he”
it’s simple as can be, see, dela!

it’s dela with a “d” not ben with a “b”
’cause ben with a “b” goes “buh” not “duh”
it’s “b” instead of “d”, “she” instead of “he”
it’s simple as can be, see, dela!

now if i had a first name and a last name
it would be a less complex thing
but since it’s all just one name, everyone claims
that they find it, well, perplexing

i never thought four syllables
could cause so much dismay
and so i hope it helps to ease
confusion when i say:

it’s dela with a “d”, not ben with a “b”
’cause ben with a “b” goes “buh” not “duh”
it’s “b” instead of “d”, “she” instead of “he”
it’s simple as can be, see, dela!

but that is just the half of it
the whole thing gets way more complicated
’cause each one of those shortenings
is for two things which really aren’t related

there’s two or more personae
that call this one brain home
and if you address the wrong one
you might not like their tone

if you want dela with a “d” but see ben with a “b”
and then ben with a “b” goes “uhh….” not “uh!”
he’s hungry and tired, i’m happy and wired
if that’s what’s required say “dela”
you’re looking for dela
she’s the entertainer
he’s the complainer
d-e-l-a

and dela has it
when ben’s had it
dela’s all pep
when ben’s p–ped
but this body
they cohabit
ben can’t do what he needs to when he’s full of doubt
’cause when you’re onstage you can’t worry or pout
and that is the reason i won’t let him out!

[spoken, switching between dela’s character voice and ben’s natural voice]
[ben] umm… not really sure this song is working it’s sort of a convoluted idea, i think that maybe-
[dela] no, no, no! it’s great, we’re going great, it’s just getting to the reprise!
[ben] well the whole song is kind of a reprise, honestly, and i think that we-
[dela] we nothing! you spend all day feeling sorry for yourself, eating ice cream and now i barely fit in this dress… it’s about time you give me a moment. it’s my turn!

[dela]
it’s time for dela with a “d”, not ben with a “b”
’cause ben with a “b”s not on the marquee!
it’s time to shine, not time for crying
that’s why i ain’t trying to be ben!

[ben, spoken]
what?

[dela]
see if you mix it up and do the “b” with the “n” and the “e”
then who knows who i’ll be
and if you’ll like what you see?
’cause it’s hard to be your best
sometimes it means being repressed
so if you’re depressed be dela!
just be dela!
she’s fun! she’s fun! she’s-

[ben, spoken]
holding me hostage, please somebody stop her

[dela]
no! she’s dela!
