Pick Yourself Up

What you're gonna hear now comes from an old Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers movie circa 1936
This movie was called Swing Time

Hey teacher, teach me something
Nice teacher, teach me something
I'm as awkward as a camel
That's not the worse
My two feet haven't met yet
But I'll be teacher's pet yet
'Cause I'm gonna learn to dance or burst
And Ginger sings

Well, nothing's impossible, I have found
When your chin is on the ground
You pick yourself up, dust yourself off
Start all over again, hohohohoho

Don't lose your confidence, if you slip
Be grateful for the pleasant trip
Pick yourself up, dust yourself off
Start 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
Had to fall to rise again?
Take a deep breath, dust yourself off
Take a deep breath, pick yourself up
Start all over again
Then Fred sings

I'll get some self assurance if your endurance is great
I'll learn in easy stages if you're courageous in wait
To get the strength I want to I must hold onto your hand
Maybe by the time I'm 50, I'll get up and do a nifty...

Nifty Mike Renzi at the piano
Ladies and gentlemen, nobody better

[Mike Renzi piano solo]

That sounds suspiciously like Johann Sebastian Bach
How I love Johann Sebastian Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach, Johann Sebastian Bach
Let's do a little more of J.S. Bach

One more time for J.S. Bach

[Scatting]

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
Had to fall to rise again?
Take a deep breath, dust yourself off
Take a deep breath, pick yourself up
And start all over, start all over
Start all over...[Scatting]
Yeah
