Be Lyrics by Slade

Whatever Happened to Slade

1977

(1) Be helpful to the shyman
But be wary of the slyman oh baby
Be guidance to the blindman
And be thankful to the kind man oh baby
Be scintillating, aggravating, penetrating, over rating
Baby don't you know
Be hostess with the mostest to
Whoever comes the closest
Oh baby don't you know
Be faithful to the true man
Sympathetic to the blue man oh baby
Be dwarf against the tall man oh baby
Be a giant against the small man oh baby
Be scrutinizing, tantalizing, appertizing
Full moon-rising
Baby don't you know
Be mistress with a history of mystery and twistery
Oh baby don't you know

Stand up, stand up, stand up and be yourself
Stand up, stand up, don't be nobody else
Cos me well you see, I don't need nobody else

Be beauty for the plain man
But be sane for the insane man
Oh baby don't you know
Be dirty for the clean man
But be shirty for the obscene man
Oh baby don't you know
Be understanding, undemanding
Hand in hand happy landing
Baby don't you know
Be harem, scarem, grin and bare em
Wash and wear em, do or dare em
Oh baby don't you know

Stand up, stand up, stand up and be yourself
Stand up, stand up, don't be nobody else
Cos me well you see, I don't need nobody else

Be beauty for the plain man
And be sane for the insane man
And be faithful to the true man
Sympathetic to the blue man
Oh baby don't you know
Be helpful to the shyman, and be wary of the slyman
Be guidance to the blindman, and be thankful to the kindman
Oh baby don't you know
Be mistress with a history of mystery and twistery
Oh baby don't you know
Be hostess with the mostess to whoever comes the closest
Oh baby don't you know

Stand up, stand up, stand up and be yourself
Stand up, stand up, don't be nobody else
Cos me well you see, I don't need nobody else

Stand up, stand up, stand up....
Cos me, well you see
I'll never find nobody else....
Cos me, well you see
I'll never find nobody else
I'll never find nobody else
I'll never find nobody else
Like you - no no
