Stand Up, Sit Down, Shut Your Mouth Songtext
von Ferlin Husky

Stand up, sit down, shut your mouth

Write your name on the blackboard one hundred times
When you get through you can walk the line
Flyin′ them airplanes all around the room
Jumping' in the halls like a bunch of baboons
Stand up, sit down, shut your mouth

Well I come in from school and my head′s in a spin
Little Willy Thomas been at it again
Throwin' them spitballs, hit me in the eye
Woo, good golly gooseberry pie
Stand up, sit down, shut your mouth


Well, old school teacher's got it in for me
Makin′ my school days misery
Just when I think it′s time for the school to let out
Teacher stands up and begins to shout
Stand up, sit down, shut your mouth

Stand up, sit down, shut your mouth

Well, Little Willy does it but I catch the flame
Guess the teacher's got it in for my name
I march to the desk and I try to explain
But all the teacher says is "you out to be ashamed"
Stand up, sit down, shut your mouth

Well some of these days I′m gonna graduate
Anytime soon won't be too late
Then I can go to college and here′s what I'll do
Study real hard and be a schoolteacher too
Stand up, sit down, shut your mouth


Well, old school teacher′s got it in for me
Makin' my school days misery
Just when I think it's time for the school to let out
Teacher stands up and begins to shout
Stand up, sit down, shut your mouth
