'ol Ben Boe
only echoes long dead
can be heard tonight,
not candy, nor music
can still the fright!
your friends you hold close
and never let go
or you might be next
to join 'Ol Ben Boe!
across the seas
above the stars
answers we seek
from far away Mars!
so,
if by chance
you live 'till tomorrow
your life long-lived
and true
thank 'Ol Ben Boe
I waved to him
standing
next
to
you!
