Pick youself uptake a deep breathdust yourself off
And start all over againnothing’s impossible I have found
For when my chin is on the groundI pick myself up
Dust myself offand start all over againdon’t lose your confidence if you slip
Be grateful for a pleasant tripjust pick yourself upand dust yourself off
And start all over againwork like a soul inspired’til the battle of the day is won
You may be sick and tiredbut you’ll be a man my son
Will you remember the famous menwho had to fall to rise again
So take a deep breathpick yourself updust yourself off and start all over again
Musical interlude
Don’t lose your confidence if you slipbe grateful for a pleasant trip
Just pick youself updust yourself offand try to start all over again
(scat)
You’ve got to work like a soul inspired’til the battle of the day is won
You may be sickyou may be tiredbut you’re gonna be a man my son
Will you remember the famous men who had to fall to rise again
Just take a deep breathahpick yourself up
Dust yourself offhave a nice trip and start all over again
(scat and laughter)
