Jerome Kern - Pick Yourself Up

(Verse)

{LUCKY}
Please teacher, teach me something
Nice teacher, teach me something
I'm as awkward as a camel
That's not the worst
My two feet haven't met yet
But I'll be teacher's pet yet
'Cause I'm gonna learn to dance or burst

(Chorus)

{PENNY}
Nothing's impossible I have found
For when my chin is on the ground
I pick myself up
Dust myself off
Start all over again

Don't lose your confidence if you slip
Be grateful for a pleasant trip
And pick yourself up
Dust yourself off
Start all over again

Work like a soul inspired
Till the battle of the day is won
You may be sick and tired
But you'll be a man, my son!

Will you remember the famous men
Who had to fall to rise again?
So take a deep breath
Pick yourself up
Dust yourself off
Start all over again

(Bridge)

{LUCKY}
I'll get some self assurance
If your endurance
Is great
I'll learn by easy stages
If you're courageous
And wait
To feel the strength I want to
I must hang on to
Your hand
Maybe by the time I'm fifty
I'll get up and do a nifty

(Chorus)
Pick yourself up
Dust yourself off
Start all over again
