Be

Holder/Lea

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

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

Break

Be beauty for the plain man
And be sane for the insane man
And be faithful to the true man
Sympathetic to the blue man oh baby

Don't you know

Be helpful to the shyman
And be wary of the slyman
And be guidance to the blindman
And be thankful to the kindman oh baby

Don't you know

Be mistress with a history of mystery and twistery oh baby
Don't you know
Be hostess with the mostest to whoever comes the closest oh baby
Don't you know
