Stand Up

(album: The Poet - 1981)

Now you all know where you come down here
To sit down tonight or be wallflowers
I want you to do yourself a favor
Put a little up there
Hey

Stand up 'cause you can't sit down
Stand up 'cause you can't sit down
Stand up 'cause you can't sit down
Stand up 'cause you can't sit down

Hey, got there late, overdone place
Cars parked for miles, no parking space
People standing 'round the walls
Lined up in the halls
People keep hollering for more, yeah
Nevermind the sign on the door
Here's what it says, saying

Standing room only, yeah
Standing room only
Standing room only, yeah
Standing room only
Listen to me now

People standing 'round the walls
Lined up in the halls
People keep hollering for more, yeah
Nevermind the sign on the door
Here what it says, saying

Standing room only, yeah
Standing room only (yeah)
Standing room only
Standing room only

Stand up 'cause you can't sit down
Stand up 'cause you can't sit down
Stand up 'cause you can't sit down
'Cause you can't sit down

See, everybody's got a thing
Everybody's got a thing they like to do
When the groove gets right

Go on and dance what you wanna
Dance any way you can, oh (well, well, well)
Dance what you wanna
Dance any way you can (ooh, yes sir)
Dance what you wanna
Dance any way you can
Any way, any way, any way

Standing room only, yeah
Standing room only, all up in here
Standing room only
Standing room only

People standing 'round the walls
Children rolling out in the halls
People keep hollering for more, more, more, more
Nevermind the sign on the door
Here's what it says, saying

Standing room only, yeah
Standing room only, yeah-yeah
Standing room only
I wanna be in here

Standing
Standing (stand up, stand up)
Do yourself a favor (stand up, stand up)
Yeah, stand up (stand up, stand up)
Ooh
Gonna stand up (stand up, stand up)
