Pick Yourself Up

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
'Til 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
