Stand up, stand up, who will be a singer?
Stand up, stand up for the good of all
Stand up, stand up, who will be a singer?
Stand up, stand up for the good of all
Stand up, stand up and sing together
In one full voice or harmony
Sing a song about thinking
Or maybe light drinking
Stand up, stand up for the good of all

Stand up, stand up, who will be a dancer?
Stand up, stand up for the good of all
Stand up, stand up, who will be a dancer?
Stand up, stand up for the good of all
Stand up, stand up and welcome Summer
Or welcome passing into Spring
For a lonesome young dancer
Is naught but a chancer
Stand up, stand up for the good of all

Stand up, stand up, who will be our fiddler?
Stand up, stand up for the good of all
Stand up, stand up, who will be our fiddler?
Stand up, stand up for the good of all
Stand up, stand up, lead us in music
Let the rafters ring with wonderous sounds
Play a jig, reel or polka
And fill up our quota
Stand up, stand up for the good of all

Stand up, stand up, stand up together
Stand up, stand up for the good of all
Stand up, stand up, stand up together
Stand up, stand up for the good of all
Stand up, stand up, your life is yours now
Let no man take it from your grasp
Take your nose from the grindstone
Welcome life into your home
Stand up, stand up for the good of all
