"Benny's Dispatch" is the second song of the 2021 film of the same name, based on the 2008 Broadway musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda. It is performed by Corey Hawkins as Benny, a young man who works as a dispatcher at a taxi company owned by Kevin Rosario, the father of his love interest Nina. Benny sings about his aspirations to start his own business and his admiration for Nina, who has returned from Stanford University. Nina joins him in the song and they share their feelings for each other.

Benny:
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
Hold up a minute!
Nina:
Benny, hey
Benny:
Nina, you're home today!
See pop shows near Durham
Get tickets as low as $58
Nina:
Any sign—
Benny:
Of your dad? Hе's on his way
Nina:
Anyway—
Benny:
It's good to see your face
Nina:
Anytime—
Benny:
Hold up a minute, wait!
You usеd to run this dispatch, right?
Nina:
Once or twice
Benny and Nina:
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
Benny:
Woo!
Honk your horn
She's smiling
Say hello, say hello!
Nina and Benny:
Hello (Woo, woo)
Good morning!
I ought to let you work
Thanks for the welcome wagon
Benny:
Anytime, anytime, Nina
Wait here with me
It's gettin' hot outside, turn up the AC
Stay here with me
