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.
