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
