You see me shruggin' my shoulders,
shakin' my head
Twistin' my hips,
out -draggin' my legs
I'm not losing my mind,
or looking for cover
I'm just a -wondering if one leg
might be shorter than the other
I'm trying to stand up straight,
just trying to stand up straight
It ain't some new dance craze,
but I wish that it was
It might be the next sensation,
might cause a big fuss
But right now I'm trying to
find the right track
From my neck on down
to my saccharine
I'm trying to stand up straight
Stand up straight
Just trying to stand up straight
Stand up straight
What's that that makes you
slump in your chair?
Hold your head in a downward stare
All that I can do is hold my head up
Without putting my nose in the air
Some days I walk around
With a big smile on my face
I proud of myself
An d the whole human race
But then I get weary
And I start to tip
I gotta pull myself together
I gotta get myself a grip
I'm trying to stand up straight
Stand up straight
Just trying to stand up straight
Stand up straight
Some people find it easy to
hold themselves erect
Got no buckle in their knee,
no crick in their neck
No pain, no shame, no worry, no doubt
I wonder do they know
what I'm talking about?
Is it some bad habit?
Or extra gravity?
That's twisting my mind and twisting my body
I won't let it be said that I ain't got no spine
If you see me looking just like I
ain't starting to unwind
I'm trying to stand up straight
Stand up straight
Just trying to stand up straight
Stand up straight
I'm trying to stand up straight
Stand up straight
Just trying to stand up straight
Stand up straight
Thank you for watching!
