Pick Yourself Up

Pick Yourself Up - Fred Astaire

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 going to

Learn to dance or burst

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

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 onto your hand

Maybe by the time I'm fifty

I'll get up and do a nifty

Pick yourself up dust yourself off

Start all over again
