Be helpful to the shyman
But be wary of the slyman oh baby
Be guidance to the blindman
And be thankful to the kind man oh baby
Be scintillating, aggravating, penetrating, over rating baby
Don't you know
Be hostess with the mostest to whoever comes the closest oh baby
Don't you know
Be faithful to the true man
Sympathetic to the blue man oh baby
Be dwarf against the tall man
Be a giant against the small man oh baby
Be scrutinizing, tantalizing, appertizing, full moon-rising baby
Don't you know
Be mistress with a history of mystery and twistery oh baby
Don't you know
Chorus
Stand up, stand up, stand up and be yourself
Stand up, stand up, don't ya be nobody else
Cos me, well you see, I don't need nobody else
Be beauty for the plain man
But be sane for the insane man oh baby
Don't you know
Be dirty for the clean man
And be shirty to obscene man oh baby
Don't you know
Be understanding, undemanding, hand in hand happy landing baby
Don't you know
Be harem-scarem, grin and bare em, wash and wear em, do or dare em baby
Don't you know

Stand up, stand up, stand up and be yourself
