There’s a number I can always call when there’s something that I want
When Ben picks up the phone he’s a pal and a confidant
He always listens, never judges, that’s his modus operandi
He’s keeping it real, he’ll sweeten the deal, and throw in a bag of candy
He’s my Sweetwater Sales Engineer
My go-to-guy when it comes to gear
When I spend my money I get a Bit-O-Honey and some stickers to adhere
From my Sweetwater Sales Engineer
He texts me when I’m sleeping, he emails when I’m awake
Sometimes his kind attention is a bit more than I can take
But I know that he’ll be there for me when I find myself in need
Of a tri-cone resonator so I can jam on “Let It Bleed”
He’s my Sweetwater Sales Engineer
My sentiments for him are quite sincere
When I spend my money I get a Bit-O-Honey and some stickers to adhere

My wife came from the mailbox, credit card bills in her hand
She said “we can't go on like this,” I said “baby don't you understand”
“Ben’s helping us to build out our own home studio”
She said “it’s either him or me,” I said “I’ll miss you when you go”
He’s my Sweetwater Sales Engineer
If you’re in Fort Wayne, hey! Buy the guy a beer
When I spend my money I get a Bit-O-Honey and some stickers to adhere
