Stand Right There

Thorin N. Tatge

To “Stand By Me” by Ben E. King

When the clock strikes eight

And the trigger’s bolt

Sets in motion things of which you’re unaware,

You need not be afraid

No, you mustn’t be afraid

Just as long as you stand, stand right there.

So darlin' darlin' stand right there,

Oh stand right there,

Whoa, whoa, whoa, stand right there, stand right there.

If the boulder that we look upon

Should tumble and fall,

And that gear should turn and spring that lever there,

Please don’t move! Please don’t move!

No, don’t budge an inch.

Just relax, and stand, stand right there.

Oh darlin' darlin' stand right there,

Whoa, whoa, stand right there,

Be back in a jiff, so…stand right there, stand right there.

Don’t go and get in trouble; just stand right there,

Right on the X, just stand right there,

A little to your left. That’s good. Stand right there. Stand right there.
