[Dinah Shore alone]  <both Frank and Dinah>

 

[Even Superman supports the good health plan]

[He knows what it will do, it's all up to you, it's all up to you]

Spread the health alarm to every town and farm,

And preach the good health view, it's all up to you, it's all up to you.

[You'll find being healthy means more than a well-filled hearse]

What good's being wealthy when you can't buy a doctor or a nurse.

[When the job is done], we'll wind up number one <instead of forty two,>

<It's all up to you, it's all up to you.>

(musical interlude)

We need vitamins and medicines and beds to spare,

[Places where the sick can go and get some care.]

Lots of new equipment to combat disease

<We declare the poor can go for moderate fees.>

[Free examination for the kids and class,]

A kid whose health is good will have a chance to pass.

[If we do these thing and we will be the state]

<Where the weak grow strong, and the strong grow great.>

(musical interlude)

Do your state a favor, the task is yours alone.

[Be a real life saver, and chance is that you will save your own]

<With the spot we're in, we simply got to win, the job is overdue,>

<It's all up to you, it's all up to you.>

Get in there, get yourself someone to help.
