Benny’s Dispatch

Leslie Grace

In the Heights (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), 2021, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Check one, two, three
Check one, two, three
This is Benny on the dispatch, yo
Atención, yo, attention
It's Benny, and I'd like to mention
I'm on the microphone this mornin'
Honk ya horn if you want it
Okay, we got traffic on the west side
Get off at 79th and take the left side
Of Riverside Drive and you might slide
West End's ya best friend if you catch the lights
And don't take the Deegan
Big Papi is in town this weekend
Sorry, Dominicans, take Route 87
You ain't gettin' back in again
(spoken)
Hold up a minute!
Benny, hey
Nina, you're home today!
Any sign—
Of your dad? Hе's on his way
Anyway—
It's good to see your face
Anytime—
Hold up a minute, wait!
You usеd to run this dispatch, right?
Once or twice
Well check the technique, yo!
There's a traffic accident I have to mention at the intersection
Of 10th Ave and the Jacob Javitz Convention Center
And check it, don't get stuck in the rubber-neckin'
On 192nd, there's a double-decker bus wreck
Now listen up, we got a special guest! (Benny)
Live and direct from a year out west (Benny)
Welcome her back, 'cause she looks mad stressed
Nina Rosario, the barrio's best
Woo!
Honk your horn
She's smiling
Say hello, say hello!
Hello (Woo, woo)
Good morning!
I ought to let you work
Thanks for the welcome wagon
Anytime, anytime, Nina
Wait here with me
It's gettin' hot outside, turn up the AC
Stay here with me
