Pick Yourself Up lyrics

[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 gonna learn to dance or burst.

[ROGERS]

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.

[ASTAIRE]

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.

[TALKING/DANCING]

[ASTAIRE]

Pick yourself up,

Dust yourself off,

Start all over again.
