All the way back to '51
Ben and Jackie were on the run
Bet for a map to a buried treasure
Won two tickets and a bottle of weapons, oh
It's dynamite
Sail on a boat to Africa
Stopped for a visit with old King Tut
Travelled all across the Kalahari desert
Slept on the base of the Kilimanjaro, oh
It's dynamite
Bang go 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 wants the treasure for herself, I'm sure
As dynamite
Ba da da doo, dee da leedle dee do
Diddly bappa do, chicka chicka chicka cho
And boom
It's dynamite
Biddly bappa do aba ding dong do
I can take you out if I really want to
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 you
Let's split this treasure and head on home
I'm sorry
It's dynamite
All is well and that is that
Don't 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 you done?
Bang go 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 wants the treasure for himself, I'm sure
As dynamite
Ba da da doo, dee da leedle dee do
Diddly bappa do, chicka chicka chicka cho
And boom
It's dynamite
Biddly bappa do aba ding dong do
I can take you out if I really want to
Oh Ben, what have you done?
Ben went off to the Kilimanjaro
Left Jackie dead and abandoned his sorrows
Jackie climbed out and followed suite
Hot on the trail of Ben and all his loot
And the dynamite
Bang go the crack in the middle of the night
Bang went the stick of dynamite
Oh no, what have you done?
Hey, said the mountain, are you trying to kill me?
Greedy old folks wants the treasure for yourself, I'm sure
As dynamite
Ba da da doo, dee da leedle dee do
Diddly bappa do, chicka chicka chicka cho
And boom
It's dynamite
Biddly bappa do aba ding dong do
I can take you out if I really want to
Oh no, what have you done?
Ben and Jackie got buried alive
With the treasure and the stick of dynamite
Oh no, what have you done?
Oh, Ben and Jackie all buried alive
With the treasure and the stick of dynamite
Oh no, what have you done?
Ba da da doo, dee da leedle dee do
Diddly bappa do, chicka chicka chicka cho
And boom
It's dynamite
Biddly bappa do aba ding dong do
I can take you out if I really want to
Oh no, it's dynamite
