Lyrics
Original version
Shack (Junior Asparagus): My mommy always told me to do what's right!
To wash behind my ears and try to be polite.
You see, she loves me so.
Mr. Nezzer: That's beautiful.
Shack: That's why she tells me what I need to know.
Mr. Nezzer: I've got a lot of respect for that woman.
Shack: But sometimes when I'm playing with a buddy or two,
they're doing things I know I'm not supposed to do.
Mr. Nezzer: Do you go along,
even though the things they do are wrong?
Shack: Mm-mm, I remember stand.
Workers: Stand up, stand up.
Shack: For what you believe in, believe in, believe in. God.
Workers: He's the one to back you up.
Shack: Will stand with you!
Rack (Bob): When everybody tells you that you gotta be cool,
remember what you learned in church and Sunday school.
Just check it out.
Mr. Nezzer: Mm-hmm.
Rack: The Bible tells us what it's all about.
Mr. Nezzer: Oh, you know that's right.
Benny (Larry): So if you have a question, go ask your dad,
and he can tell you if the thing is good or bad.
You'll make their day.
Mr. Nezzer: Uh-huh.
Benny: If you remember what your parents say.
Mr. Nezzer: What'd they say?
Rack, Shack, and Benny: They told us stand.
Workers: Stand up, stand up.
Rack, Shack, and Benny: For what you believe in, believe in, believe in. God.
Workers: He's the one to back you up.
Rack, Shack, and Benny: Will stand with you!
Shack: Oh
All: Stand.
Workers: Stand up, stand up.
All: For what you believe in, believe in, believe in, God.
Workers: He's the one to back you up.
All: Will stand with you!
Shack: He'll stand with you! Oh yeah!
