Dan Reynolds - The Tale of Ben and Jackie

All the way back to 51.
Ben and Jackie were on the run.
Lead by a map to a buried treasure.
One, two tickets and a bottle of weapons, oh.
It's dynamite.

Sail on a boat to Africa.
Stop for a visit with old king Tut.
Traveled all across the Kalahari desert.
Slept on the base of the Kilimanjaro, oh.
It's dynamite.

BANG, went the crack in the middle of the night.
BANG, went the stick of dynamite,
oh Jackie. What have you done?
"HEY!" said Ben, "are you trying to kill me?"
"Greedy old Jackie want the money for herself,
I'm sure; as dynamite."

Batleat-Doo-deetle-eet-oo. Dittly-bop-a-do, chicka-chicka-cho and boom. It's dynamite.
Bittly-bop-a-do, dittle-ding-dong-doe. I could take you out if I really want toe,
oh Jackie; what have you done?

"Come this far no turning back."
"Ben won't you cut me just a little slack?"
"Didn't mean a thing when I tried to kill ya."
"Let's get this treasure and head on back,"
"I'M SORRY!" it's dynamite.

All is well and that is that.
"Don' matter Jackie it's in the past."
"Fetch me a water from the deep, deep well."
There she went and THERE SHE FELL!
Oh Ben, what have ya done?

BANG, went the crack in the middle of the night.
BANG, went the stick of dynamite,
oh Ben. What have you done?
"HEY!" said Jackie, "are you trying to kill me?"
"Greedy old Ben want the money for himself,
I'm sure; as dynamite."

Batleat-Doo-deetle-eet-oo. Dittly-bop-a-do, chicka-chicka-cho and boom. It's dynamite.
Bittly-bop-a-do, dittle-ding-dong-doe. I could take you out if I really want toe,
oh Ben; what have you done?

Ben went off to Kilimanjaro.
Left Jackie dead and abandoned his sorrows.
Jackie climbed out and followed suit.
Hot on the trail of Ben and all his loot;
and the dynamite.

BANG, went the crack in the middle of the night.
BANG, went the stick of dynamite,
oh no, what have you done?
"HEY!" said the man, "are you trying to kill me?"
"Greedy old folks want the treasure for themselves,
I'm sure; as dynamite."

Batleat-Doo-deetle-eet-oo. Dittly-bop-a-do, chicka-chicka-cho and boom. It's dynamite.
Bittly-bop-a-do, dittle-ding-dong-doe. I could take you out if I really want toe,
oh no; what have you done?

Ben and Jackie got buried alive.
By the treasure and the stick of dynamite,
oh no; what have you done?
Oh, Ben and Jackie all buried alive.
With the treasure and a stick of dynamite,
oh no; what have you done?

(scat) It's dynamite.
(scat) I could take you out if I really want toe,
oh no; what have you done?
